Are the MIDI clips labeled to identify them later after they’ve been dragged to DAW MIDI track?

Hi – This one might be a bit unusual, sorry …

After finding MIDI clips I liked, I dragged them to my DAW for editing. A few days later, I decided I liked one or two of them a lot, and wanted to go back to the group in EZD2 Nashville they originated from to listen to the other ones of its “home group”. But I couldn’t find any identifying tags on the MIDI clip to tell me that.

Is there anyway to get the identification of the MIDI clip so I can go back to where it came from in Nashville and listen to the other clips it used to live with?

Thanks much!

You can search for any MIDI by dragging it to Tap2Find, even MIDI files that comes from Toontrack, to locate what pack they come from.

If you have a daw that lets you drag and drop the MIDI from the DAW straight to Tap2Find, that’s the easiest way to do it.
Some DAW:s won’t, however, let you drag the MIDI from the DAW’s MIDI tracks to anywhere else – the desktop, nor into EZdrummer 2’s time line.

In that case: record arm EZdrummer 2 (press the record button beside play and stop below the song track). start your host to record 1 or 2 bars of the MIDI you want to locate. Once that is done, drag the MIDI (on the EZdrummer 2 song track) you just recorded to Tap2Find. You should see the original MIDI in the top of the results – as long as you haven’t edited the original MIDI too much.

Ask again if my instructions wasn’t clear enough 🙂

Wonderful! I believe my DAW (Cubase) allows me to Drag and Drop, if not I’ll try your other way.

Thank you so much!
