Editing MIDI Events in the Transform Window
469
This preset is a great creative option for drum regions. The following example presumes
that a “four-on-the-floor” kick, snare, hi-hat, and other percussion sounds region is
being viewed in the Hyper Editor.
To experiment with the Double Speed preset in the Hyper Editor:
1
Click on the name column of one of the drum sounds.
This selects all note events of a particular pitch in the region.
2
Change the Length field to a value that does not match the Position field, or vice versa.
3
Repeat the steps with other drum or percussion sounds.
This can lead to interesting polyrhythms that you may not have thought of.
As you can see from this example, you can use the same transform operation multiple
times on the same region, and can also combine the different transform presets to
achieve an end result, by using them one after the other.
Half Speed
Halves the tempo by doubling event positions and lengths. The Mul(tiply) value fields
for the Position and Length operations are set to 2.0000 by default.
Set both Mul operation value fields to 1.5000 to reduce the tempo by around a third.
