Ableton Forum

I have a midi track that I would like to modify. The existing tempo is 120. What I would like to do is keep the tempo at 120 but have the midi notes play over an increased time. Say the existing clip plays over 2 seconds, I would like this clip to play over 4 seconds while keeping the same tempo. I began to do this manually but thought I would ask if any features of Ableton will help.


Thanks

Well you could just select them all and then drag them out to the desired length. Or you can use the Note Length Midi device.

Under the 'Notes' section of the MIDI editor there are two buttons. One to cut the time in half and one to increase the duration by two. I think if you select the latter it will do what you have described.

Thank you all, great answers and very helpful. I now realise I have some serious study to carry out on Ableton MIDI. The :2 and *2 I tried whilst waiting for the reply and 'dragging the notes after selection I've now tried. Both are very useful to me now.

Regards
