Tweaking an instument's MIDI timing

[back_to_work]

Hello All . . .

Is there a way to tweak the global timing of a MIDI feed to an instrument?

Some instruments - say, for example, a sample-based SF2 - can be quite 'laggy' because of the way the individual note-samples have been recorded (e.g. with a slow attack time). The result is that the instrument track tends to sound 'late'.

If the MIDI feed could be 'advanced' (or all the other instruments 'delayed') it would be a neat way around the problem.(If I remember rightly, Cubase used to be able to do this)

A work-around I've found is to select all the notes in the instrument's Piano Roll, and then advance them - say a 64th note. This works fine . . . but then all the notes are mistimed when I export to a score-printout software like 'MuseScore'.

Any ideas?

No feature for that in LMMS.
btw
moving notes 1/64 seams like a lot!
Try a few 1/192

Thanks for the feedback.
It might be a nice feature for future releases.
The 'attack time' on sampled instruments (e.g. sf2 cellos) can be very slow. Quite a few 10s of milliseconds. The sample creators can't get round this - that's to say they can't cut off the first few milliseconds of the notes (or it won't sound natural).
