Using the Time Compression/Expansion Trim Tool in Grid Mode
The Time Compression/Expansion Trim tool (TCE Trim tool) can be used in Grid mode to match a clip to the tempo of a project or a section of a project, or to create “double time” or “half time” performances.
To compress or expand MIDI clips in Grid mode:
1. Set the Edit mode to Grid.
2. If necessary, set the MIDI or Instrument track to Clips view.
3. Select the TCE Trim tool.
4. With the TCE Trim tool, drag the MIDI clip’s start or end point to compress or expand the clip to the Grid (for example, by quarter notes). A new MIDI clip is automatically created, and appears both in the track and in the Clips List.
