Can I simultaneously (globally) replace articulations in grooves?

[Billy 86]

I have a song laid out in the song track. Intro, verse, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, verse, etc. Nothing fancy. If the verses are all the same groove, for example, and I want to change the hi hat articulation in them all, can I do it to all the verse grooves at once (somehow link them?), or do I have to go into each groove separately and change the articulation in the editor one by one?

Related… I’m assuming the grooves aren’t linked in any way by default, ie, if I change something in a groove, and there’s another instance of that same groove elsewhere in the song track, it doesn’t change as well unless I do something like what I’m asking about, above.

Thanks for any help! Awesome instrument!

Someone may have a better answer, but to kick it off with my first instinct. If your Intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, are truly that within the superior metadata. Use the Song creator.

Edit your Verse how you see fit, for example, change the articulation in Edit Play Style.

Drag this new verse into Song Creator

Select all Midi Blocks in Timeline you want to replace with your newly edited verse.

In the Song Creator’s “Verse” column, right click on source file, “Replace Selected Blocks”.

I haven’t made it entirely through the Superior manual yet, so I can’t answer your direct questions. Would love to know as well. Have not come across the things you’re hoping for yet though.

Alternatively, simply edit your Verse File, right click, copy. Paste-All onto your other files. Though, I’d guess this is the workflow you’re trying to avoid.

I’ve scoured the manual and can’t find any info on this, but your idea sounds like it may work. Thanks!

Sure. Turns our dragging and dropping from the Song Track to Song Creator has a bug. So right click on your midi Block and “Use with Song Creator”, until it’s fixed.
