Cubase is by far a better DAW than Logic Pro X, but Logic has a great tool, which basically allows you to select a range of notes in the key editor, press Shift+T, and that gives the selection handles at the beginning and end. Clicking and dragging either handle allows you to stretch or compress the…

This is provided, look at the first screenshot. You can’t just use the Logical preset, you need to re-create macros which consists of 12 steps. Quite long and hacky macro, but the best I could find working through experimentation.

Try using the Time Stretch tool on a MIDI Part in the Project Window. This is the function that is being asked for, but for a selection of notes inside the Key Editor.

I also discovered that it will not scale correctly if you are using a Tempo map. This is what caused all these problems. The temporary solution is to mute the Tempo track before stretching notes. Also I’ve found out a much easier way to do this, I will try it later.

This is how it is done in FL Studio and it should be available in Cubase too without any logical editors! Such a simple and useful thing. I didn’t even know I needed this before I tried FL Studio. [fl-scale]

[cubase-1] One can resize a midi clip outside of a key editor but its only purpose is to adjust the tempo of the midi clip. Inside the Key Editor, there is no convenient way of doing that.

My biggest confusion after almost two years of using Cubase Pro is what exactly does the “Sizing applies time stretch” tool does in the key editor. Maybe it’s something that goes above my current knowledge of music and MIDI programming, but when I try it out, resizing selected notes with either the …

Maybe it helps someone else who is looking for a somewhat though imperfect workaround: I just went ahead and created two macros. I used the standard 2x speedup logical preset and scaled it down to only do 25% instead, one for each direction. Then I created the macros which move the cursor to the…

[image] A new way to stretch MIDI notes in C13 (Tip maybe) Cubase New version: This basically does exactly what you suggested. As for the native support, I hope so too, but Steinberg don’t seem to care about UX, like, AT ALL. All they need to do is to hi…

These are some threads. But there’s no “hub thread”, the “feature request central” like we have been doing lately with other requests.
