How to strip all non-notes data on MIDI import?

On the piano roll hit Ctrl A to select all notes, right click on one and choose note channel 2. Change channel viewing from all to 1. View event list, hit Ctrl A followed by delete. View piano roll and change the viewing from 1 to all. Right click on a note and choose note channel 1. Done. Have fun, Steve PS. you could turn this into a macro so it is just one keypress

Can't you use data filters in the list? Select all notes of all tracks in the filter, invert selection and delete? I'm not sure if it's possible as I'm having difficulty loading all of the midi tracks into the same list.

Data filter in Event mode - hide all notes, and that's it. Just delete your non-notes.

There is no "hide all notes" in the MIDI event filter, neither is there an invert selection. The filter and event list leave a lot to desire. What you can do is: - make sure the edit cursor is on the very start of your item - Filter all notes - CTRL+A to select all notes - CTRL+C to copy them to clipboard - Clear the filter - CTRL+A to select every event - delete - CTRL+V to insert notes only from the clipboard. Should work, but some filter and event list improvement would be very welcome.

It would be great if there were a "Non notes" selection in the filter dialog. Better yet, being able to select more than one filter at a time would be the bees knees. I can see using a multi-select filter to get rid of everything EXCEPT note and velocity data to be very, very handy. Maybe instead of a drop down combo box, a list with radio buttons or check boxes? D

An action to invert selection in the MIDI editors is coming soon :) (done in v3.06rc1). Making this quite a bit easier.

The Acid 6 filter is worse than Reapers in some ways. Not only do they use a dialog for the filter but you have to close the dialog to see the changes. However at least there you can view more than one random thing. Anyway, for most mature sequencers the midi list editor wouldn't even come into play for very simple stuff like this, clearing out CC's or other controllers. There would typically be a "Delete Controllers" function that can be executed directly from the arrange window that would clear all of that stuff out of all of the midi tracks in the entire project in one go. Select all in the arrange window, click two menu items (or macro both on one key), done... without entering any midi editor. This is the kind of really basic foundational midi editing that Reaper is sorely missing.

Thanks for taking the time Lawrence and for making the Feature Request. :) D

yes indeed Lawrence the cubendo midi filter is kick ass... reaper could surely take notice :rolleyes:
