Step sequencer prevents track editing, how to reverse?

[John Speth]

I noticed that if I turn on the step sequencer or matrix views for a MIDI track that I can no longer run any of the process menu items (they're grayed out). How can I reverse it so I can use the process menu items after using the step sequencer?

I can copy the MIDI events to another MIDI track as a work-around to edit after using the step sequencer but that's kind of tedious and I suspect it's unnecessary if somebody can give me a better way. I'm using Cakewalk 2020.11.

Thanks - John

Right clicking a step sequencer clip and selecting 'Bounce to Clip(s)' will turn it into a regular midi clip.  By the same token right clicking a regular midi clip and selecting 'Convert MIDI Clip(s) to Step Sequencer'  will do the opposite conversion.  Right clicking either a regular clip or step sequencer clip will give access to some process options as well.  Cheers.

Thanks - That advice seems to work. The methods are simpler and now make sense. - John
