Destructive vs. Nondestructive
MIDI Editing


When a MIDI region
resides in one track
at a single location.
 Any alterations to
the pitch, duration,
or placement of
notes permanently
alters the region.



When editing a
MIDI region that
appears elsewhere
in the session
(playlist, or
location), the edits
are nondestructive,
and creates a new
auto-created region.

Telescoping- applied to any point in an
audio waveform bordered by a Warp
marker on 1 side. Applied on either a tick
or sample-based track.
Accordion- applies E.A. processing on both
sides of a Warp marker, so you can
expand or compress equally on both sides
of the marker.
Range- applies E.A. processing between 2
fixed points, so you can adjust the timing
relative to one another.

Warping
Warp Indicators- appear in the upper
right hand corner once a region has
had Elastic Audio processing.
 Remove Warping- you can remove
warping and revert the region to its
original duration. Only applied to
regions, not region groups.


Quantizing Existing Material
Grid/Groove Quantize
 MIDI Data- adjusts existing note
locations and durations so that timing
is improved, rhythmic “feel” achieved.
 Audio Regions- adjusts start times of
the regions
 Elastic Audio- adjusts to the location of
detected transient events and applies
E.A. processing accordingly.

The “What to Quantize”
Section
Attacks - aligns note start points to the
nearest grid value.
 Releases - aligns note end points to
the nearest grid value.
 Preserve note duration - preserves
note durations by moving end points in
concert with start points. If not
selected, note start and end points can
be moved independently, changing the
duration of the note.

Accordion- applies E.A. processing on both
sides of a Warp marker, so you can
expand or compress equally on both sides
of the marker.
Range- applies E.A. processing between 2
fixed points, so you can adjust the timing
relative to one another.

Warping
Warp Indicators- appear in the upper
right hand corner once a region has
had Elastic Audio processing.
 Remove Warping- you can remove
warping and revert the region to its
original duration. Only applied to
regions, not region groups.

Quantizing Existing Material
Grid/Groove Quantize
 MIDI Data- adjusts existing note
locations and durations so that timing
is improved, rhythmic “feel” achieved.
 Audio Regions- adjusts start times of
the regions
 Elastic Audio- adjusts to the location of
detected transient events and applies
E.A. processing accordingly.

The “What to Quantize”
Section
Attacks - aligns note start points to the
nearest grid value.
 Releases - aligns note end points to
the nearest grid value.
 Preserve note duration - preserves
note durations by moving end points in
concert with start points. If not
selected, note start and end points can
be moved independently, changing the
duration of the note.
