Expand by Channel A track can contain data associated with more than one MIDI channel. For example, most MIDI guitar controllers transmit each string’s data over its own channel. Recording this kind of data, or Importing a Type 0 standard MIDI file, would put several channels of MIDI data into one track. Using Expand by Channel separates data by MIDI channel. All data containing the same channels are grouped on to the same track. Track placement is completely dependent on the location (track number) of the original track being expanded. After initiating the Expand by Channel operation, the original expanding track will contain only SysEx or SubSection data (because this data does not have channel information encoded in it); the newly created tracks will be placed sequentially, starting with the first blank track in the current Section. The number of new tracks created after initiating Expand by Channel depends on the number of MIDI channels contained in the track being expanded.
