Inserting a measure

12 Jul 2008, 15:53

Hi!
Just a few hours ago I had to insert 2 measures into a song. So I looked for a possibility to shift ALL following song data - that is ALL phrases 2 measures to the right. I did not find any solution besides doing a whole bunch of single shifts one (phrase) at a time - which ended up in a mess. Am I overlooking something or is the midi editor just lacking a very, very basic function? To me it's cruical to be able to insert measures (not at the end of a song).
Thanks for your help.

This only works if ALL the phrases/samples start at the spot you want to insert measures. This obviously is true for the start of a song, but when you want to add measures in the middle of a song and your phrases/samples are not the same length or a multiple of the same length....then good luck.

Scissors. We need that ability to SPLIT phrases.

Hi, I appreciate this post was written a while ago, did you ever manage to find a way to split a phrase?

If you keep in mind that Fantom-G is a MIDI sequencer and not a Digital Audio Workstation... then you won't hit this problem much.

I do agree we need split/combine (scissors/glue) functions.

On every normal sequencer: Select multiple phrases with mouse and simply drag them where you want to...

On the Fantom G: If your lucky, you can kind of insert measures in Song Edit F7>Track Edit Insert, but it will not split any existing phrases that are crossing the section where you want to insert empty space.... So basically it usually it only ends up messing up your song. I find it pretty useless.

We need scissors.

I have been whining about scissors/glue/eraser feature since 20 March 2008 for 2106 posts and even got banned once for wanting the scissors too much..

consider me a whiner since may 08. i can honestly say i was much more patient then. before i realized minor updates (i mean minor as in atomic, microscopic etc...) take 6 months to drop. i have my calendar circled for 2014 when 2.0 is "scheduled" to drop!!! cant wait!!!
