Time Compression/Expansion
Trim Tool Functionality on
MIDI Regions
The Time Compression/Expansion Trim tool is
useful for matching a MIDI region to the length
of another region, a tempo grid, or any other
reference point.
With the Time Compression/Expansion Trim
tool, you can move the MIDI region’s start or
end point to expand or compress the region,
scaling the MIDI data accordingly regardless of
the track’s timebase (ticks or samples).

Expansion Trim Tool in Grid Mode
The Time Compression/Expansion Trim tool
(TCE Trim tool) can be used in Grid mode to
match a region to the tempo of a session or a

or “half time” performances.

gion’s start or end point to compress or expand

ated, and appears both in the playlist and in the
Region List.
