Select Filter - Every Quarter Beat or Upbeat (Midi)

[Scott Kendrick]

I haven't quite figured out if it's possible, and  assuming it's not. Using the selection filter, is there any way to select, from a group of notes, every beat on the quarter or every upbeat... example - if you've got eighth notes on the hi-hat and you want to increase velocity on the quarters. Note that these midi notes are captured via an electronic kit with triggers, so they are not uniform in nature.

Thanks in advance

Sounds like something a CAL script would be good at.

(do
    (int note_number 1)
    (int even 0)
    (int nth 2)
    (getInt nth "Please enter nth note" 2 50)
    (forEachEvent
        (if (== Event.Kind NOTE)
            (do

                (= even (% note_number nth))
                (if (== even 1)
                    (do
                    );exit do
                    (do
                        (delete)
                        (insert Event.Time Event.Chan NOTE Note.Key Note.Vel Note.Dur)
                    )
                );exit if
                (++ note_number)    
            );exit do
        );exit if
    );exit for
);exit do

Save the file as a *.CAL file and save it in the folder location as defined in Preferences | File | Folder locations > Cal files

Once that file is there, select the notes you want to alternate select.  Then go to the menu Process | Run CAL (Or press Ctrl+F1) and select the file you saved.
