Repetetive Pedal Marking Placement


Recommended Posts

I am looking for a way to enter on and off pedal markings without placing every one individually, if there's away to do it.  Near the beginning of each measure (like at one sixteenth note after beat one) I want a pedal-on control code and just before the end of each measure I want a pedal-off control code.  The piece I'm working on needs these all over the place.  Is there a way to do this en masse?

Put them in a Midi clip, turn the clip into a loop, and roll it out?

 

If you are using envelopes (shapes) to do it, you can copy/paste one measure's worth repeatedly.

+1  And do it in a second lane of the track and then bounce to clips if you want to combine notes and controllers.

FWIW, I'll add that I find my pedaling in actual performance has the pedal being released just after the barline (or any chord change), producing a little overlap on chord changes. Here's a pair of up/down pedal controllers quantized to the 1st and 3rd 32nd (120 and 360 ticks) after the bar and configured as a MIDI Groove Clip.

It worked to copy the CCs from 1 measure to the next and then to copy the CCs from those two measures to the next two and so on.  Thank you, Amberwolf.  I also noticed that putting the pedal off right at the beginning of the next measure sounds much closer to an actual performance.  So, thank you, David Baay.
