RE: process slide for midi grayed out (bob301)

I've have always been able to slide portions of a midi clip by selecting the notes. See below for a selection from the help files for a better explanation of what I'm trying to do. In my case the events are midi piano notes.

I've narrowed down the problem and sonar 6 seems to have problems with larger clips. It works the way it used on smaller clips. I also can't split larger clips (4:17 min seems to be a magic number with the project I working on) properly. The clip is split but it deletes the left side portion of the clip. Again this works properly on the smaller clips.

I suspect that 6.2 is managing the clip in memory and having problems when it gets too big. I'm running it with 2gb but it is vista. I was wondering if they are any setting that might be impacting me or any diagnostics I can run to prove it. I just tried 6.2.1 but same problem.

Process slide info from the sonar help files
Shifting Events in Time

The Track view lets you move entire clips forward or backward in time by using drag and drop editing or by changing the start time of selected clips. The Process-Slide command is slightly more flexible--you can use it to shift individual events and markers (or selected events and markers) either forward or backward in time. This has an effect that is similar to the Time+ parameter in the Track view. However, the Process-Slide command modifies the time stored with each event, while the Time+ parameter simply applies a temporary change during playback.

You can also use the Process- Slide command to move markers located within the selection. If you have selected any locked markers, SONAR will ask whether they should slide, too.
To Shift Events in Time

1. Select the events and/or markers you want to shift.
2. Choose Process- Slide to display the Slide dialog box.
3. Check the types of event you want to slide (events and/or
markers).
4. Enter the number of measures, ticks, seconds, frames or samples to slide. Enter a negative number to shift material earlier. Note that you cannot slide any event earlier than 1:01:000. For example, if the current selection starts at 2:01:000, you cannot slide events earlier by more than one measure.
5. Click OK when you are done.

SONAR shifts the selected events and/or markers. You can also use the Process-Nudge command to move events. See Nudge for more information.

Not sure if its just a jargon/terminology thing, but you can't slide part of a clip. You can only slide entire clips. You can always split the clip at any point and slide the portion you desire. If I am misunderstanding you, then perhaps you could post a pic or try an alternative explication? " />

process slide for midi grayed out (bob301)

I try to move part of a midi track using Process Slide but it is grayed out. I can't select it at all unless I select the whole track which is pointless.

I select a group of notes or use the select from now thru end to highlight the notes but slide and most of the process options are grey except for audio, audiofx, midfx, and nudge.

I'm running sonar studio 6.2 under Vista.

What am I missing here?
