Merging MIDI Events into a New Part
You can merge all MIDI events, apply MIDI modifiers and effects and generate a new part.
PROCEDURE
1.
Do one of the following:
●
Mute the tracks or parts that you do not want to include in the merge.
●
Solo the track that contains the events that you want to include in the merge.
2.
Set up the left and right locators to encompass the area that you want to merge.
NOTE
Only events starting within this area will be included.
3.
Optional: Select a track for the new part.
If you do not select a track, a new MIDI track is created. If several MIDI tracks are selected,the new part is inserted on the first selected track.
4.
Select MIDI > Merge MIDI in Loop....
5.
In the MIDI Merge Options dialog, activate the desired options.
6.
Click OK.
Bouncing MIDI Parts
You can combine MIDI parts on different lanes to one MIDI part. This is useful, if you want toreassemble a drum part that you dissolved to lanes.
PROCEDURE
1.
Select the MIDI parts on the different lanes that you want to combine.
2.
Select MIDI > Bounce MIDI.
RESULT
The selected MIDI parts are combined to one part. Any muted parts are removed. Transpose andvelocity values that are set for the parts are taken into account.

I usually merge during record so haven’t tried with lanes for quite some time. Lanes got a major overhaul when they updated the take & track version systems. I think it’s still possible, but I don’t remember the specifics. If I get a shot, I’ll see if i can figure it out in a few.
You need to change your recording mode to Mixed-stack. Then slice and use the comp finger to mute things you don’t want to hear. Other than that, lanes use the same Merge process now.
I suspected that Delete Overlaps was turned on on your system, then after I posted I noticed that you said,
That is what happens when “Delete Overlaps” is active. So, turn it off, and it will work the way you want it to, which is also the way it has worked in previous versions.
Great, please consider in the future that your setup or prefs need troubleshooting when experienced users tell you that what you want is already possible– would save everyone a little time.
Well, actually you insisted that no one understood, and didn’t mention the most important thing about the problem, that
dragging a midi part from another channel erases the lanes
until post 13. Had you done so, I think all participants would have known right away what was up. Also, using Cubase-specific vocabulary is an immense help.
