[SOLVED] ChordPulse is very useful but...

I sometimes use ChordPulse  to create quick backing tracks which I then export as a MIDI file and import to Sonar as a starting point for a track. I can then assign the MIDI tracks to decent sounding virtual instruments to create a much more convincing sound.
 
This works fine apart from one annoying "feature" in the exported MIDI file. Strings or Pad tracks created in ChordPulse typically contain short chords with a cc 64 Hold controller to sustain the chord until the next one (see below). So when working on the song when you stop the track to edit something the tracks with these cc64s continue sounding (until you hit the panic button). This gets very tiring very quickly!
 

 
I can easily edit out all of the cc64s but then I have to go through each track manually and extend the chords to continue until just before the next one. I'm sure there is a way to do this either using a built-in function or CAL. Does anyone know how to do it?
 
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the suggestion scook.
 
I already had LoopBe installed as part of Liquid Notes which was handy. I just tried your suggestions but the resultant recorded MIDI still looks like the above (short chords with cc 64 to control the sustain). Maybe some kind of MIDI filtering within Sonar would help?

Thanks scook. I will give it a go and post it here if it works.

There is a CAL script called "Thin Controller Data." Not sure if that will work, but you can try it. 

S.L.I.P.
Here's a link to a ton of CAL. scripts:

Thanks a lot S.L.I.P, very useful.
