Change an Instrument
Reply with quote

Hi

I have two tracks, using both the same instrument.

Now I want the second track to use another instrument. Is there a way to achieve this without reentering all the notes?

I didn't found something in the docs or here at the website but maybe I have overlooked something.

I would be glad if someone can point me in the right direction.

regards,
Errorsmith

Nope. That's one on my wishlist. Though you can change just the instrument number so you don't have to care about the notes. Makes it a bit easier at least..

Well, you could put a different sample in the same instrument, but in an another octave, and then just transpose the track to that chosen octave.

there's only a visually not-too-appealing-result-giving solution for it: go to the first note of the second track, overwrite the old instrument number with the new one. then go to the last note in the track and overwrite it too. then make a block selection from the first note to the last, bring your cursor in the note culomn and press leftshift+v (interpolate-all FTW once again!).

Hi

Thank you all for your replys. So, Im going to add this to my wishlist too Wink

Anyway, I tried the method oldbrian suggested, but this was resulting in Madtracker to interpolate the whole colummn, not only the notes wich were actually existing. Is this "beaviour by design" or did I do something wrong?

regards, Errorsmith

nope, it's the default behavior - that's why it is interpolate all Smile you can interpolate anything: notes, effects, pans, volumes, etc

Hi

Now, I see. I thought this must be the interpolation function but was not sure. Wink

So thank you for your help.

Greetings,
