Hi,
I used MIDI software for decades now and there is a unique feature I found in only one of them (Winjammer to name it): track splitting and merging
There were two different functionalities under the split.
1- Split at note: Given a track, it could be split it in two at a limit note you choose. Very handy when a track covers a large range and you want to split it in two separate instruments for a better rendering. For example between an alto sax for the treble and a tenor sax for the lower range.
2- Split by note: The track is splitted in as many tracks as there are different notes. This is great for drum tracks when you want to change one or more percussion instrument.
The merge tracks feature lets you select a track and merge it in an existing one. A cool feature once you've used 2- above: you can merge back the drum tracks onto one when you're done.
One can dream. no?
