Expand/compress a track: "Exp/CompTrack"
This command expands or compresses the specified region
(IN–OUT) of recorded track data to fit the specified region
(TO–END) of the specified track.
• The expanded or compressed data can be created in a
different track, while preserving the original data.
• You can specify whether to convert the pitch.
• You can simultaneously convert one or more adjacent
tracks of data.
• The converted data can be copied one or more times in
succession.
This command can be used in ways like the following.
• To convert drum loops of differing tempo to the same
tempo.
• To make a phrase occupy a specific length of time.
Copying expanded/compressed track data
Here's how the IN–OUT region of track 1 can be con-
verted to the length of the track 2 TO–END region with-
out affecting the pitch, and copied there three times.

correspondingly take longer for processing to be fin-
ished and for the "Completed" indication to appear.
You can copy one or more tracks simultaneously.
You can copy the currently selected V-track to other V-
tracks.
You can copy a track to several virtual tracks, and use
those tracks to create several different takes.
