Editing multiple midi parts at once?

[Bman]

Hi. Is there any way to edit multiple midi parts at the same time in the key editor?

I know you can select multiple parts and open the key editor and they're all there but if I want to insert, delete or modify a controller I still have to switch between the parts using the part list drop down and do everything multiple times. For example, if I want to draw the same cc11 expression curve on 3 parts I have to draw it three times (or copy the first and paste it to the other two). Surely there's a way to do this only once?

As I'm starting to work with divisi strings (LASS) I'm finding this function sorely missing. Folders don't seem to help either.

Tips? Any thoughts would be gratefully appreciated.

Cheers - Brett

No way to grab multiple parts in key edit that I know of. Would be nice as an option perhaps.

LASS...... so many ways to use it. For the ability of controlling multiple channels at a time, besides having a separate track for each of the fc, A, B, & C divisi, I also create a track that combines all of them. I call it my master track, and in the inspector, I set that up in midi sends, to get all of the data to all midi channels at one time. So I compose usually in the master track, then, if I need more control of divisi parts, I drag the part down to all the divisi tracks that I need. Now, with Auto Arranger, you do not even need to pull the individual note part into separate tracks. You just literally pull the track with say three note harmony down and copy to all relevant divisi tracks and it automatically, with AA 'on' , assigns the proper notes to the proper divisi per your setup in LASS in Kontakt. That saves time.

I use keyswitches, but keep all the Long together, and the Short together.
So that looks like this for, let's say, the violins1 section:
Long folder
v1 master track to trigger ALL v1 (except harmonics) at on time
v1 fc track
v1 A track
v1 B track
v1 C track
harmonics track

Remember, the LASS in Kontakt has humanization function you can turn on, with parameters you can pre set up. Then, if you need more control, which I usually do at least for the divisi, especially volume associated functions to get balance in the part, I drag the part to the divisi tracks quickly and tweek.

Takes work, but great midi mock-ups generally do.

Paul, that's fantastic. This is as close as I'm going to get with Cubase and is a great solution. :D

Midi sends...where have you been all my life! I'll incorporate this today and post back if I have any further questions RE your approach.
