You can change that number to any number of subdivisions you want, up to "sample accuracy," but it would make for a very busy timeline. The next note you click will be the same duration you made the last one, and will continue at that length until you drag again.īeats contain 480 "tics." Those are subdivisions of the beat. CLICK & DRAG to establish the attack and duration of the note. Next, the pencil tool is your raw input device. I hear arguments for the Sequence Editor, but I'm very adept at that window, and I cannot do MIDI at the speed and accuracy (and relaxation of the wrists) as I do in the MIDI Edit Window. You can do it in other editors, but they are not as adept at MIDI as the MIDI window is. If you're doing MIDI, I strongly recommend that you work in the MIDI Edit Window, as opposed to the Sequence Editor or any other editor. Here, you'd use the pencil tool to add notes. What you really need to be focusing on is technique. Let me emphasize from the very outset how tremendously wasteful of time that would be, unless you're stockpiling, say, 64th note runs that span an entire keyboard.
What you're asking to do is to keep a stockpile of rhythms on hand, which you would paste into place, then change the noteheads to the note you want. The goal would be to place into a measure any subdivision of the existing beat I choose. The specific notes don't matter, I can go back and drag the MIDI notes where I choose.

I've figured out how to creat a "groove" for a certain pattern for a whole measure, but I know there must be a way to do more of an "on the spot" insertion of a specific note placement that I have previously saved. I would like to be able to point to say, the first quarter note in a measure and "insert" a triplet.then be able to go back to the same measure an "paste" and insert a different pattern later in the same measure. I want to create some type of preset for say "triplet", or "dotted 8th's" or "1 and" for a 16th note figure and be able to include the rests and durations. I want to be able to place a note rhythm into a measure at any point I want. I've used DP's quantization and grooves features before, but I know that as powerful as DP is there must be a way I can do the following:
