NOTE AND AUTOMATION EDITING

Scale Tempo
The Scale Tempo pane in the Tool Window
The “Scale Tempo” function in the Tool Window can be applied to selected notes and/or automation events. It can
also be applied to selected note and automation clips. The Scale Tempo function will make the selection play back
faster (Scale factor above 100%) or slower (Scale factor below 100%). For notes and automation events, this is
achieved by changing the position of the events (starting from the earliest selected event) and adjusting the length of
the notes accordingly.
Tempo scaling can be applied to:
• Individual (selected) note and/or parameter automation events in a clip.
This has to be done in Edit Mode.
• All note and/or parameter automation events in one or several selected clips.
This is done in the Song/Block View. If the clips are on the same lane, it can also be done in Edit Mode.
! In Edit Mode, select the clip(s) by clicking on it/them in the Clip Overview.
• All note and/or parameter automation events in all clips on one or several selected tracks.
This has to be done in the Song/Block View.
• The “Double” and “Half” buttons are “shortcuts” to Scale factors 200% and 50%, respectively.
These are probably the most common values used, simulating double tempo and half tempo scaling.
The result of applying Scale Tempo on note events with the Scale factor 200% (double speed).
• The “Scale to” function can be used for scaling selected clips, or selected events in an open clip, to a fix length.
The segments in the “Scale to” box are divided into, bars, beats, 1/16th notes and tics.
! The Scale Tempo function affects note, performance controller, parameter automation, pattern change and
tempo automation events! It does NOT affect time signature automation.
! Note that Pattern Automation Clips will only be resized - the pattern tempo in the source device will NOT be
scaled but will still be synced to the main sequencer tempo!
