• Edit > Select Equal Colored Regions: If you have selected a region or event of a certain
color, you can use this command to select all regions or events of the same color (or
use the Select Equal Colored Regions/Events key command, default assignment: Shift-C).
This is a useful option when replacing song sections and other group editing tasks.
• “Deselect All Regions except on selected Track” key command: Deselects any regions not
on the currently selected track. This command is especially handy when used after
other special selection commands—limiting the effects of ensuing commands to the
recording track.
Selecting Similar or Identical Objects, Regions, or Events
If you have selected an Environment object, region, or event, you can use the Edit > Select
Similar Regions function to select all similar objects, regions, or events (or use the Select
Similar Regions/Events key command, default assignment: Shift-S).
You can use the Edit > Select Equal Regions function to select all identical regions, events,
or objects (or use the Select Equal Regions/Events key command, default
assignment: Shift-E).
The table outlines the differences between similar and identical (equal) objects.
Identical Similar Element
• MIDI regions: Identical
content and size
• Audio region: All regions of
the same length and position
Region type (audio or MIDI) Region
Controller number and data byte
(control value) equal Controller number equal, any
data byte (control value) Controller events
Note and octave equal Note equal, any octave Note event
Same fader type (for example
text) Same object type (for example
fader) Environment object
Selecting Events with the Same MIDI Channel
Following selection of an event, you can select all other events that share the same MIDI
channel by using the Edit > Select Equal Channels function (or use the corresponding
key command, default assignment: Shift-H).
For example, imagine you’re editing a MIDI region that contains volume and pan controller
information for 16 MIDI channels.
To select all events on channels 1 and 3
1 Shift-select one event on channel 1 and another event on channel 3.
2 Choose Edit > Select Equal Channels (or use the corresponding key command, default
assignment: Shift-H).
