Trim Pattern

My search-fu isn't very strong.. so hopefully this isn't already answered somewhere.

I have a pattern that was 8 bars.
I only need 2 bars. How do I trim the front and back bars off and leave the pattern with just the 2 bars I want?

I've gone so far as to delete all the notes and events in the bars I don't want.. and I can even set the start and length of the pattern..
But that leaves me with a pattern that (while working) starts on bar 5 so it has a bunch of blank bars in front..

Is there an easy way to cut/trim bars from a pattern?

Using:
Maschine Mikro Mk3
Maschine 2.14.7
Windows 10

 

It was added relatively recently.

 

Thanks for the reply.

I was able to get the start position and end position of the pattern just fine, but that leaves a bunch of stuff to the left of the start position. That's what I want to trim. Any way to do that?

 

Not sure I understand. The stuff in front of the start position shouldn't play.

 

Correct... it doesn't play. but there are multiple empty bars now. That just looks bad... but there is also a functional issue.
When i switch to a different scene or pattern and come back.. the scale of that pattern is back to full width..... and I have to then zoom out to see the parts of the pattern that are actually selected or have stuff in them.

I dunno... it just seems weird that they would add the ability to set the start and end bars of a pattern, but not a way to actually just cut out parts/bars of a pattern.

 

A gigantic amount of things that are normal in other software arent really present in Maschine, that's how it is. There is no MIDI consolidation/trim, as well as no split, merge, stretch, double-time, event mute, etc, etc...

 

Thanks for the confirmation.

I'll try to shift my mindset to adopt the Maschine way of thinking.

Cheers

 

Have you tried to select all notes with the mouse, and then cick->drag the notes to the start of the bar?

You will have to reset your pattern start and end afterwards.

 

Yes, and while I can do that for the notes, it didn't seem to bring along the events (I have some pitch shift events on those notes).

So maybe that is a different question about what I'm doing wrong there or how I make sure those move with the notes.
