SPLIT
Split allows you to break up MIDI notes or audio
soundbites into separate, smaller notes and
soundbites. Split makes divisions at the boundaries
of the region you select.
For soundbites, Split, Cut, and Erase all do a
similar thing: they split out a section of the
soundbite. The difference is that Split leaves behind
the resulting piece, whereas Cut and Erase remove
it. Split is a great way to break up audio soundbites
so that pieces of a soundbite can be edited in the
Tracks window along with MIDI data. If the region
of audio that you want to edit along with MIDI is a
portion of a soundbite, split the portion into its
own soundbite and you can then cut, copy, and
paste it right along with the MIDI data.
For MIDI notes, split is different than Cut, Erase
and other Edit menu commands in the following
way: the attack of the note does not need to be
within the selected region for Split to have an effect
on the note. If the selection begins half way
through the note, the note will be split at the
selection boundary.
SPLIT AUDIO
This variation of the Split command can be
accessed by holding down the Option/Alt key
while accessing the Edit menu. Split Audio does the
exact same thing as Split except that it only affects
audio data (not MIDI data).
SPLIT AT COUNTER
Split at Counter splits all currently selected MIDI
notes and/or soundbites at the current main
counter location (as indicated by the playback
wiper). The default key binding for this command
is option-Y, but you can customize this binding in
the Commands window.
If you move the soundbites relative to each other, they can’t be healed (use Merge
Soundbites instead):
Remaining soundbites after the middle section has been cut:
