Editing MIDI events and continuous controllers (CC)
To stretch or shrink using percentages

Figure 215. The Length dialog
3. Choose to change the Start Times and/or Durations of selected notes by checking the boxes.
4. If you want to stretch selected audio clips, check the Stretch Audio box. When this check box is
enabled, the following two options become available:
• Type. Choose the type of audio data you're stretching. Choose options based on the source
material: single voice or instrument versus a group of instruments (ensemble or polyphonic),
and how long you want to wait for processing to finish: better quality can take a long time if
you're processing several tracks.
• Formant scaling. Possible values range from -2.000 to 2.000 octaves. Formants give a
voice its characteristic sound. If you find that changing the length of your audio changes the
timbre too much, you can raise or lower the formant to try and maintain the characteristics of
the sound
5. Use the spinners or type in the desired percent change in length.
6. Click OK when you are done.
SONAR modifies the length of selected events.
