How to stretch MIDI notes

November 14, 2022

If you ever needed to slow down your MIDI chord progression, or maybe make your melody faster, or change the pace of everything, here’s what you do.

Just hold alt/opt and drag MIDI notes to stretch them like this 👇

If you have your snap settings enabled, it will snap to the grid which can be useful to play around with some interesting timings variations!
