Change Duration Settings
Set/Add/Subtract/Scale Option
Set All To Sets all durations to a length specified in
quarter notes and ticks.
Add Adds to the durations by a specified number
of quarter notes and ticks.
Subtract Subtracts from the durations by a speci-
fied number of quarter notes and ticks.
Scale by Shortens or lengthens durations based on
a percentage value (1–400%).
Legato
Enable the legato option to add legato to the MIDI
selection. Select
Gap or Overlap from the Legato
pop-up menu and enter the gap or overlap in beats
and ticks.
Remove Overlap
The Remove Overlap option removes any note
overlap for all notes of the same pitch. This com-
mand is different from Legato in that non-overlap-
ping notes of the same or different pitches remain
unchanged. To create a gap between previously
overlapping notes, enter the gap in beats and ticks.
Transform Sustain Pedal To Duration
The Transform Sustain Pedal To Duration option
extends the length of all notes that are sounding
when the sustain pedal (controller 64) is down (64
to 127) to the point when the sustain pedal goes up
(0 to 63). Enable the
Delete Sustain Pedal Events
option to convert sustain pedal events to note dura-
tions. Converting sustain pedal events to note du-
ration can greatly simplify editing while maintain-
ing the desired performance effect. For example, if
a sustain pedal down event is deleted while editing,
the subsequent MIDI performance loses its legato
effect.
Change Continuously Option
The Change Continuously option lets you change
the duration of notes continuously in ticks or by
percentage. Adjust the Curve slider to modify the
shape of the change.
Change Continuously in Ticks Allows note
lengths to change smoothly from one duration to
another over time. Duration values are specified in
quarter notes and ticks.
Event Operations window, Change Duration
The settings in the Change Duration page are
saved with each session. To store your favor-
ite settings as the default for use in future ses-
sions, save them as part of a session template
(see “Session Templates” on page 176).
