Changing 8th-note triplets to 8th-notes....

I have a midi drum track that is currently in 4/4 with 8th-note triplets.
How do I change the triplets to plain 8th-notes so I can change the meter to 12/8?
I tried quantizing to 8ths but some of the notes wound up on top of each other.
 
Changing to 12/8 will make it much easier to change meters to 7/8, etc....

    If it does not automaticly change, you'll have to re-write the track. AFAIK, there is no way.

    Notation, the original DAW. Everything else is just rote. We are who we are and no more than another. Humans, you people are crazy.

    Assuming you want 1 measure of 4/4 to become 1 measure of 12/8, do the following:

    1. Change the meter to 12/8
    2. Select the MIDI clip, and Process > Length  to 150%
    3. Increase the tempo to 150% of what it was.
