Newbee midi editor question.

[GearNostalgia]

I am totally new to Waveform8. I enjoy using the pattern generator, but I think I must have missed some basic stuff when reading the manual. Please help me in the right direction.

If I go in to edit a midi clip and zoom in so I can edit not length. Then how do i scroll back and forth in the clip? I see no horizontal bar om the midieditor and scrolling the main windows scrollbar does not affect it. just scrolls the midi lanes.

Second question. If I drag in some midiclips to the same midi-lane they get stack on top of eachocther and it seems like if I lasso and select I only get the to clip selected. I want to select all so I can copy them together and paste them as much as I need. How do I do that?

Unless you need the clips to remain seperate.
Select all the clips in the track then merge clips,the merge button will show up in the info panel. I'm not sure if there is another way to do it

But that merges all clips and not just the select part, right? But I guess that is a way and then I could split the long clip after.

Hi, it may be possible to set markers around the clips you want, and then select and merge just those clips , I tend to merge all clips on a track. So have not had to deal with this particular task.

If I go in to edit a midi clip and zoom in so I can edit not length. Then how do i scroll back and forth in the clip? I see no horizontal bar om the midieditor and scrolling the main windows scrollbar does not affect it. just scrolls the midi lanes.

Mouse over the "timeline" bit at the top of the midi editor, where it shows which Bar and beat you're at, and use Shift and the scroll wheel on your mouse to scroll back and forth in time. Or left click, and drag the bar. Not holding shift zooms in and out. If you click on the Options button in the bottom left, and go to "Mouse Wheel Options", you can change that, so it scrolls the time without holding Shift, and you have to hold Shift to zoom in and out, if you prefer that.

Thank you. That works. Maybe they can add it to the list to have the same scroll bars in all windows.
