But, let's say, someone messed with it and now the actual contents is at 140
BPM, however the tempo in the midi file says 120. I haven't found an easy
way to fix that. Time stretching programs for audio can do it. You enter
initial and final BPM and it calculates the ratio, very precisely and does
it. But I haven't seen anything for midi yet. Unlesss Voyetra has a feature
that can handle that. i know nothing about that sequencer, so it might.
It would be more difficult for QWS anyway since there would be a lot of
rounding going on to expand the midi data, but the time expand tool
definitely is a start and could help if used carefully.

Actually, every MIDI sequencer I've used at a professional level had a
feature to take a MIDI track and get it into a proper tempo. Voyetra
called
this the "Tap Tempo" feature, for example.
You played along with the track tapping the tempo on a key on the synth,
and
that would determine the tempo of the track. It's useful.

Hi,
What you are trying to do is something which I have read is extremely rare
to be found in a sequencer. You could try time expand, just do the math to
get the correct ratio if you know both tempos. If you don't know the
actual
tempo it was recorded, then I'm afraid you'll have to do it through trial
and error. Since you can't go down to decimals with time expand, you'll
have
to get as close as you can with one pass, and just keep time expanding
things or gliding them when they start to go out of sync. When you see
that
it's starting to go out of sync, you should probably time expand or glide
from that point to the end of the file, rather than try to handle it a few
measures at a time, unless it's becoming inconsistent.
HTH.

Subject: QWS List Changing midi tempo separately,
Hello,
Let's give you an example of where my question is about, as that explains
much. Let say i have recorded a midi in an old crappy program without a
metronome. I had to use an external metronome, and i don't know the exact
tempo of that metronome. De midi tempo of the midi itself is 120. Playing
the midi in qws when the metronome is enabled really fails, and thus also
quantizing fails badly. Is there a way to sync the midi tempo of the file
with the actual tempo the music is played in, without changing its real
tempo? I.e. when the tempo of the music is 150 and the midi tempo is 120,
is there a way to change the midi tempo to 150 without the real, actually
sounding tempo being adjusted?
