Summary0002486: Ardour should allow several views of a MIDI track
DescriptionLike Logic, Cubase et al, Ardour should allow the user to have several views/instances of a MIDI track.

This is very useful in many case, an example would be:
A user wants to separately record components of a drum beat: bass drum, snare, hi-hat etc. Allowing the user to have three views for a MIDI track that outputs to the same place would be very useful, for things like special quantize for each midi region, editability and so on...
TagsNo tags attached.

MIDI has no way of storing "several views" and a MIDI track contains, by definition, MIDI. If you want several tracks, use several tracks ;)

There are two ways you can do this that make sense:

- Use several tracks and set the output of the several tracks to the same destination (a MIDI bus would make sense, once it exists...)

- Put your different parts on different channels and edit the channels independently as described.

Well perhaps I should then file a new request that perhaps more general:
to allow several representations of a track (be it midi or audio) that share the same connections but different regions.

Resolving as it seems like this particular request won't be implemented, and a follow up of a more general request is pending. Post back up if there is an issue with this though:)
