Anyone know how do drag more than one measure at a time into the midi channel? Im trying to make a groove and it would boost productivity a bit. Im not good with this midi stuff. I'd like to have one groove play the while track then chop it up like i need it. Any suggestions on technique as well?
 
What recording software are you using? EZD has the patterns split up into categories, ie: 1/8, 1/2, 1, 2 measures, and 4 measures, etc. So dragging these onto a track will only be 1/8, 1/2, 1, or 2 measures long. I don't know anyway to change that.

I know that in Reaper I can just resize the MIDI part and it will repeat over and over for however long it is. From there, I can open it up in the MIDI editor, change things, etc.
 
I use EZDrummer with cubase. I can only drag one pattern at a time from ezd into the daw, but use the editing tools to make duplicates. Alt-Click is copy and drag; Shift-Click is to select multiple patterns (in the DAW, not EZD).

So i drag one pattern over from ezd to cubase, alt-click and drag a copy to the next measure, then shift-click to select both, then alt-click again to copy both patterns to the next two measures. That quickly there's four from one. just keep doing it until you have a somg done. Then I go back and edit to add variation to my drum patterns. (that's the fun part.) I leave "snap to grid" on, so it aligns with the measures.

Is this what you were asking???

Very good.:cool:

I use simple copy/paste. I grab a measure and drag it, copy it and just paste it wherever.
 
Yes Im using cubase SX3. I was hopeing there would be an easier way aside from copy and paste, I'll have to work for now. Thanks so much guys!
