Splitting/Stretching Midi Notes

[jaynyc]

This should be simple but I can't figure it out and I tried searching google.. I have Midi Notes I recorded from My keyboard but I would like to edit them in Protools by dividing 1 note into 2..For Example, I have 1 bar in a 4/4 I would like to split it in the middle so theres 1 note up to 2/4 and another note to 4/4 by 2/4..hope that helps .. I would also like to know how to stretch a note.. There is a tool tool to trim down a note (shortcut f6) but is there a way to stretch it and make it longer? For example, I have a note that stops at 3/4..how do i stretch it to 4/4 without changing the beginning position of the note?

Click with the selector tool where you want the split, and hit Ctrl-E (PC) or Command-E (Mac).

Err...I think. Check it out and let us know.

Use the trim tool to trim both start and end of the note(s).

the Command E divides it into regions.. i want to seperate the midi note where the selector is in this picture http://tinyurl.com/37fzjo..When I hit Command E the note is still 1 full note but I have new items in the regions list. Also for my other question I wanted to make the note longer instead of trimming it

The trim tool works both ways. You can shorten notes, and you can extend notes with this tool. Can't you make the notes longer?

Command-E didn't work? I'll check at the studio later.

Hmm...I couldn't find a way to split a MIDI note in half. Command-E separates into regions, sorry about that.

So, maybe it can't be done? Any thoughts on the topic?
