MTS adds multi-midi editing...

Littlewoodg

Unfortunately only for iPad pro. Bleh.
Multi midi (and multi audio) editors have been in the desktop version for a while, including Windows touch, and the lack in iOS is one aspect of this daw that folks find odd. I hadn't been missing it much on iPad but now hmm

I saw that update (I can't even keep track of the MTS updates anymore, incredible how much he works on that thing!).

I know what a MIDI editor is, but can you tell me what a "multi-MIDI" editor does and how it is different? I have an iPad2, so no go for me either.

I was curious about this functionality as well. I'm guessing that if you edit one MIDI track, you can arm other MIDI tracks to respond to the same edits?

It says "Multi MIDI Editor (edit multiple tracks in a single editor)." over on this link:

Yeah I got that part...my question is how it's going to edit multiple tracks at once? If it's like the scenario I described in my previous post?

I hope that this midi editor isn't always iPad pro only. I had hoped that MTS would also get the multi track audio editor of the desktop version too. I asked a few months ago and apparently it's not in the current plans. But you never know with Mr B

I've never used the desktop multi midi or multi track audio editors but I think they are new separate pop up editors like the song editor.

Guess I'm still not clear on what functionality is missing from the iPad editor that appears in the desktop version (which I don't have). Or how/why I would make changes to multiple MIDI tracks at one time (short of something obvious like pitch transposition, velocity, etc.). But I'm prepared to have my mind blown.

Yep it's a pop up selection when you go into song editor...I saw your request, I sent another when I saw this update go live (why I was looking at updates at 3am this morning I can't explain but I think you know how it is)

When you select multi editor you can specify the tracks you want to see all at once, in the song editor page, then the layout is more like conventional DAWs, you can slice, move or process chunks of adjacent tracks together.

Gotcha thanks!

No worries...First rule of MTS club, talk about MTS!

So how about audio tracks? Can you slice and move parts of them along with the midi tracks. Ie. chop out 4 bars from 2 tracks of midi and a track of audio and move all those pieces to the end of the song - or whatever... That would be cool... because often half my stuff is audio by the time i come to doing the arrangement. (Although now with mutliple instances of iSem I guess I could leave everything as midi)

Desktop and Windows touch version does exactly that for both audio and MIDI. This update adds just the MIDI...

You've always had that feature using the song editor.

CalCutta

Yeah but I think he's referring to the audio changing to reflect midi edits (or at least in basic ways, such as you move a chunk of the midi around, then the audio does the same thing).

Matt_Fletcher_2000

The only problem with the song editor is its all or nothing. It has to be every single track sliced and moved.

Often I'll want to just rearrange some, but not all, of my tracks.

Littlewoodg

In the multi editors you chose which audio or MIDI tracks out of the total to assign to song editor, then you can cut/move/etc blocks of them in there.

Matt_Fletcher_2000

Ooh. Thanks. Never knew that!

No worries, it is pretty cool!
