Selecting a Pitch Range of Notes
A common use for Select/Split Notes is to select
a single note for the entire length of a region or
track. This is especially useful if you want to se-
lect a note in a MIDI drum track (such as a hi-
hat), and affect it over the selected time range
with the Quantize, Groove Quantize, Transpose, or
Change Duration command.
To select only the hi-hats in a General MIDI drum
track:
Do one of the following:
1
• With the Grabber or Selector tool, select
the range of MIDI notes that contains the
notes.
– or –
• To affect all the MIDI notes on a track, click
in the track with the Selector tool, so that it
contains a flashing edit cursor.
Choose Event > Event Operations > Select/Split
2
Notes.
Select the Notes Between option with the note
3
range set to F#1 and F#1 (if the MIDI Note Display
setting in the MIDI Preferences page is set to
Standard Pitch).
For a General MIDI drum kit, the closed hi-hat is
assigned to MIDI note number 42 (F#1 at Stan-
dard Pitch). If the hi-hat for your drum kit is as-
signed to a different note, make sure to specify
it.
Click Apply.

You can also select all notes of a specific
pitch on a track using the mini-keyboard.
