I know that some of the people here use Anvil Studio for working on MIDI files. I have a couple questions that I want to ask, since I had an idea that I'd like to try, but if I have to do it manually, it probably wouldn't be worth it. (I don't even know if it would sound good.)
Anyways, is there a way to shorten the length of each individual note played in a single track by a uniform amount, without messing with the overall tempo of the song? For example, if I decide that the notes played by a specific instrument are being held too long, and without slowing down the song entirely, I just want to make every single note 50% shorter but still spaced apart the same amount of time, can I do that without manually selecting each note by hand?
As a side question, I have an MIDI file that I tried messing with, and for some reason it kind of broke. All I did was slow the tempo and swap instruments, and a handful of notes on one of the tracks decided to hold as a constant tone for half the song. I checked the notes in the Piano Roll Editor, and they shouldn't do that. If I paused the song and resumed it, it would fix the notes and play properly, but otherwise they'd make your ears bleed. It was a real shame, since it would have sounded really good otherwise. Anybody know why this happened? It did that no matter what player I tried to use. (I tried Anvil Studio's built-in player, Windows Media Player, and ZQuest's "Add MIDI" preview window.)
