timeexpanding midi w/o changing session tempo?

[jofromabove]

Hello PT folks of this planet

I feel the strong need to change tempos on midi files or regions. Nothing wierd, just plain bpm conversion maybe, but without changing the sessions bpm. You know? Just for adapting midifiles.
Does maybe someone know of a tool to do this?

I was hoping that maybe Rails Headerinvestigator could. But no. It only opens wav.

thank you peeps and have a nice day.

If you "import MIDI to track" it gives you the option to "import tempo from MIDI file", or "use existing tempo from session". If you use the sessions's tempo, the MIDI will conform to the session's tempo.


If you import from the MIDI region list, it always uses the session's tempo.

I hope that was what you were looking for.

Thank you spk
MMh not really what I need though. I believe that, if importing with -keep files tempo-, sessiontempo gets adapted to it. And then again thats notsogood.
Almost funny. Seems to be a big deal to stretch midi independently. Might have to change sessiontempo accordingly and then play midi over to another sequenzer. MMMh

MIDI is always tick based.. so it's tempo dependent. You can use the time stretch tool in 6.7 and later to change MIDI note durations, but the notes will always remain relative to the tempo. A future revision may perhaps have sample based MIDI (who knows).

OK. Found in manual.

PT solution: Use TC/E tool on midiregion.

Well. Just too nice to have thought of.
