Sync All Notes In Group

This is a tool to make doubling/tripling.. tracks in your song a lot easier, allowing a quick workflow for layering sounds. It manages multiple tracks within a group to keep the same notes copied across them all. Each track retains it`s own instrument and you can add different fx and automation to each instrument layer.

How To Use:

Manually:

If you want to sync all the notes in a grouped track, simply choose one of the tracks in the group. Now choose “Sync All Notes In Group” from the tool menu under “Ledger`s Scripts” . Tracks will be synced left to right.

There is also an assignable keyboard shortcut with the same name.

Automatically:

1. From the tool menu under “Ledger`s Scripts” enable the option “Auto Sync all notes in (*) Groups Enabled”

2. Choose the track you want to double, go to the instrument list and choose the new target instrument you want as a layer. Right-click to get the instrument list menu and choose the “Create Synced Track” option. A new track will be added to the right of the original track. Both of these tracks will be added to a new group with a name like `*Group 02`. All the notes in this group will now be automatically synced, left to right.

If you want to bypass a group you can delete the star manually. A star can also be added to any other groups you already have to make them automatically sync aswell.

ALTERNATIVE UNDO

As this is a realtime tool writing to the pattern editor, unfortunately there is some unwanted native undo behaviour. To cope with this I have added a new undo shortcut that can be mapped to `ctrl z` that should not have these problems:

“Sync All Notes, Alternative Undo”

COLLAPSE SYNCED TRACKS

To help keep things tidy there is a menu entry for “Collapse All Synced Tracks”. This will collapse the destination tracks in * groups. A keyboard shortcut under the same name is available.

1.21

Bug fixed where non “\“ groups would be auto-synced with new “Only Sync Selected Group Enabled” mode*

1.2

-Option for “Only Sync Selected Group Enabled” added under “Ledger`s Scripts” / “Sync All Notes In Group”.

This option means only the group with the cursor present in it will be synced. This allows the tool to work faster

when there are a lot of groups to sync. Any changes made in other synced groups may be missed when cutting selections

etc. which is the trade off.
