Chapter 19 Quantizing MIDI Events 479
 Triplet Quantization: The 1/3, 1/6, 1/12, 1/24, 1/48, and 1/96 note settings quantize
the MIDI region to triplet note values. A 1/6 note is equivalent to a quarter triplet, 1/
12 note to an eighth triplet, 1/24 note to a sixteenth triplet and 1/48 note to a thirty-
second triplet.
 Mixed Quantization: The 8 & 12 setting corresponds to eighths and eighth triplets, 16
& 12 to sixteenths and eighth triplets and 16 & 24 to sixteenths and sixteenth triplets.
Mixed quantization always applies to both note values, and requires greater playing
precision when recording.
 Odd Quantization: The 9-Tuplet setting denotes novetuplets (1 bar = 9 beats), 7-
Tuplet is septuplets (1 bar = 7 beats), 5-Tuplet/4 is quarter quintuplets (1 bar = 5
beats), and 5-Tuplet/8 is eighth quintuplets (1 bar = 10 beats).
 Swing Quantization: The 8F, 8E, 8D, 8C, 8B, 8A, and 16F to 16A Swing settings delay
the position of every second point in the quantization grid by a fixed percentage.
The 8 or 16 denotes an eighth or sixteenth note quantize value. You can also
manually alter the swing factor of any quantize value (see “Fine-Tuning the
Quantization Grid” on page 480).
If you want to quantize various parts of a MIDI region differently:
1 Divide the MIDI region with the Scissors tool, and use different quantization settings on
each segment (each new region).
2 You can then recombine the segments of the original region with the Glue tool.
This maintains the quantize values of each segment.
An alternate method is to perform event-level quantization in the MIDI editing
windows (see “Event and Note Quantization” on page 483).
Quantize setting Swing percentage
8F or 16F 71%
8E or 16E 66%
8D or 16D 62%
8C or 16C 58%
8B or 16B 54%
8A or 16A 50%
