I'm sure this is in the manual somewhere.....but I don't even know what the proper name is for it..so I gave up and decided to ask here. I have a clip from another song that I want to work into a new song. the clip is 2 beats over 1 measure in my new song. is there any way to make the new clip....um..."shrink" into the new piece? I guess another way to look at it is..if I had a 2 measure beat pattern, is there an easy way to stretch it over 4? I know how to do this with an audio clip, but I've never figured out how to do it with a midi clip. thanks, Lee

Hold down "Ctrl" while dragging the lower end of the part. Then you will be presented a question box, "Do you want to time strech/compress the content of this part". If you click "Yes" you are done. (It's "Ctrl" in the Windows version. I don't remember but I think it's the same for Mac. If not, try "Alt" or "Cmnd" until you get that Q-box) Best wishes Per Boysen ________________ www.boysen.se www.looproom.com
