Ticks in Midi

Post by qminusi » Fri Oct 15, 2004 4:46 pm

Hello,

is there a way to move midi notes by ticks forward and back in Live 4.03?
Could not found anything in the manual and the forum.

Thanks.
Peace ... please ... I beg you ...

Oh yes.
But this works only when zooming in fully. The step size seems to change in relation to the zoom factor. Is it possible to move by ticks in a bar (unzoomed) view?

BTW what is the resolution of the sequencer?

I get the pixels too :-) but thats not the problem.

My problem is that a when I move a midi note in unzoomed view the step size is different as when I move it in a zoomed view.
Try in unzoomed view hit the right arrow key 5 times then zoom in and hit the left arrow key to move the note back. You will not have the same position of the note.
Is there a way to move a note constantly, no matter which zoom factor? Just by tick?
Something like 'hit this button 5 times to move a note 5 ticks to the right' and it will always have the same step size -> 5 ticks.
