Ableton/Live/UG/10 Editing MIDI/07 Editing MIDI Clips
- Operations on a whole MIDI clip beyond those in Ableton/Live/UG/08 Clip View.
- Crop Clip deletes MIDI outside the loop brace; Crop to Time Selection deletes outside a time selection. Right-click the clip or press
Cmd+Shift+J (Mac) / Ctrl+Shift+J (Win). No new file is written.
- Cut, Copy and Paste act on notes; the "… Time" commands insert or remove time in the whole clip, without moving its start, end or loop brace.
- Duplicate Time copies the selected span and its notes into the clip.
- Delete Time removes it and closes the gap.
- Insert Time adds empty time the length of the selection, before it.
- Move the loop start and end markers, even during playback, to loop the passage you're editing.
- With the loop brace selected,
Cmd+D (Mac) / Ctrl+D (Win) doubles the loop with its notes, moving later notes along and zooming out to fit. - MIDI clips loop by default; the Clip Loop toggle turns it off and grays out the brace.
