Help with Divide?

alexs1

~~My goal is to be able to use Divide to instantly "subtract" a part of the loop.~~

~~The default is 2, which is half, but in exploring how to get it to divide by something like 1 Cycle, or 1 bar, or 3 subcycles specifically, I'm not sure how to get that to work in MSL.~~

For example,
"Divide subcycles / 2" takes a 3-bar loop and reduces it to 1 bar, and I'm trying to get it to go down to 2.

Also, when I tried:
Divide cycles / x, or
Divide loops / x,
they won't compile in the script editor.

~~Would there be another way to do an instant-edit subtract by 1 Cycle, maybe by using loopFrames?~~

~~Thanks!~~

Nevermind, found the Trim function for the first time!

Well, maybe there's a difference.

A Trim does subtract, but when it's unquantized, it depends on the timing, whereas Divide reduces the loop instantaneously. So there might still be an application for Dividing by x cycles/subcycles.
