[Trick] Drum rack MIDI clip editing: move a whole line
On a drum rack MIDI clip, you can select a line = all the notes associated to one drum pad by holding [Select] and pressing the pad. Hold the drum pad and you nudge all the notes at once.
[Question] MIDI clip editing: cycling a sequence in the MIDI clip?
How do I move the notes from a MIDI clip so that the notes that exit the MIDI clip are cycling at the opposite extremity of the MIDI clip?
E.g. on a 4-bar pattern, I want to shift all the steps back of 1 bar, and have the initial first bar to be replicated in the new 4th bar. How do I do this?
I don’t know if that’s possible on an individual drum pad. You can hold Select, then hold the pad you want, and it will select all the notes for that pad. You could use the Nudge control to move all of them at once then but you don’t get the “wrapping” behaviour you want.
I remember the new Octatrack users complaining about the OT ways don’t getting the basic DAW functionalities such as poly mode, etc.
I right in the opposite situation, yet so close in a way
This is not what you asked for but there is a “Note Echo” device in Midi Effects. You could add that to the Drum Pad itself so it only affects the one hit. In Mute mode it doesn’t let the original note play so you could delay the note by a bar to sort of achieve the same thing.
Moving the “Start Offset” is the quickest and easiest method for what you describe.
If you want to keep your loops tidy you can also use the ‘double loop’ button and move the loop brace over by one bar, then crop the clip.
