How to double-time a MIDI region?

[rockridge98]

Question for you PT MIDI experts:
Lets say I have a 2 bar MIDI region in 4/4 containing 8 notes (1 quarter note per beat).
Is there some region editing command in PT to change it into a single bar region
playing twice as fast, ie change it into a single bar with 8 8th notes.

For those of you who know Sibelius
this would be like using the "Double Note Values" or Halve Note Values plugins.

I've RTFM'd but can't find it.
thanks...

Also, if there was a utility program that would do this on MIDI files, that would be almost as good.

Hi,

Time stretch midi in PT7 might give you what you want! operates same as audio time stretch

use the TCE tool (in grid mode, set trimmer to TCE) - drag from 2 bars to 1

You can search it. hence, the acronym STFM; Search The...

Thanks to all! It wasn't in the hardcopy index (I looked at every entry that said MIDI),
but you guys are right that a STFM would have found it, so I will make a point of
doing that next time.
