Fastes way to merge midi notes

[Talisker]

I have a session with several instrument tracks, all containing midi notes for drums, and I want to move them all to one instument track. But I am having problems, finding a quick and smart to do that, copy and paste didn't really work, drag and drop doesn't replace instead of merging.... any hints ?

thanx

Select SOURCE region
Edit/Copy

Select TARGET region
Edit/Paste Special/Merge

Not sure whether there's a faster way to merge several tracks.

Richard, is right, there is no one click operation to merge MIDI device tracks. The fastest method is to use your QWERTY keyboard shortcuts:

Ctrl/Command+C - Copy
P - Move Edit Selection Up
; - Move Edit Selection Down
Alt/Option+M - Merge
Ctrl/Command+V - Paste

Export MIDI tracks to a MIDI file and import to a new track.

Good one.

I use QuicKeys, and then I put the kettle on.

That's what I thought too Stig.

Note to self, and those interested: it's not enough to have hidden instrument tracks deactivated - they must be muted too.

Isn't that weird. Muted too. Who would have figured. Perhaps this is a good feature for Ideascale. Hidden tracks not included in Export.
