Change Duration Settings
 
*
The settings in the Change Duration page are saved with each session. To store your favorite settings as the default for use in future sessions, save them as part of a session template (see Session Templates).
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 specified 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 command is different from Legato in that non-overlapping 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 durations. Converting sustain pedal events to note duration can greatly simplify editing while maintaining 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.
Change Continuously by Percentage
Allows note lengths to change smoothly from one percentage value to another over time.
The curve for this change can be adjusted (+/– 99) to affect how gradually the change occurs.
Limit Range
When selected, restricts the Change Duration command to a minimum and maximum range (in quarter notes and ticks).
Randomize
When selected, the Change Duration command is randomized by the specified percentage value. For example, using “Set all to” with a value of 480 ticks, along with a Randomize value of 50%, yields durations anywhere between 360 and 600 (+/– 25% of the duration value).
