Is there a way to click on several notes in piano roll view and change the track they are associated with?
 
Only way I know is to go to the track view and copy a bar and paste it onto the other track, but in piano roll view, it would be cool if you could just click on the set of notes that should go on another track.
 
 
Is there a way in piano roll view to tie one note to another to effect a slide?
 
Thanks in advance.

Nope, can't change the track from piano roll view that I know of. You can edit multiple tracks at once in the piano roll and copy notes from one track and paste them selectively to another with the paste dialog box though. A slide will require pitch bend and I have no idea to make it sound convincing without drawing a lot of automation - someone around here probably knows how.

Nope.

You'll need to do a pitch bend under control of an envelope.

Most soft synths have their bend range default at +/- 2 semitones If this isn't enough you'll need to alter this parameter in your synth.

Then I'd try recording the automation you want via a hardware synths pitch wheel

Use ctrl + z to undo it if you don't like it. Practice it until it's perfect

Then you'll probably want to go in and thin out the controller data (there's a command somewhere just for this - is it a Cal? I think it might be

Finally, at the end of your pitch bend - reset the controller back to zero or everything else following the bend will be out of tune.

Each synth is different, but I thought that you could use a combination of portemento and legato to get the notes to "tie" providing that the notes overlap slightly (than can also just touch, but overlap ensures legato takes place).

And you have to check your re-trigger settings.

It is achievable without using the pitch bend continuous controller. I would need to give you a specific example with a specific soft synth in order to explain better but I'm at work right now...

Thanks all! Big help! I found the semi-tone setting on the left a little near the top.
