HI all. If I've recorded a midi part at 60bpm and then I change the tempo of the song to 120, the midi part will play back at double speed. Is there some way to "stretch" the midi part so that it plays back at the same "timing"? thanks, Ian >>>> Ian Henderson http://www.ianhenderson.net http://www.myspace.com/ianfreefall

In order to halve the speed of the midi, double its length. vice-versa for contracting regions (halve the length, double the speed etc..) Mike

The way to do it is to select them and use the mouse pointer to grab one lower start or endpoint of one region and drag it with the modifier key held down (ctrl, alt or cmnd... can't remember which one.

In your case, hold down OPTION and make the region twice as long. f-erenc szabo, smarty pants Z+E+R+O+B+E+A+T "NOW POWERED BY THE MIRACLE OF THE TRANSISTOR!" <http://home.goodmedia.com/~zerobeat>

The method to timestretch MIDI parts has already been explained, but, when you change the tempo of a song and want all of your MIDI parts to be the same at the new tempo, while even keeping their relations intact, SMPTE lock is the way to go. You just select everything, select "Lock SMPTE position", change the tempo to your likings and then unlock the parts. This is especially handy if you already have a lot of parts. Regards Sascha
