Advanced quantization parameters in the Region inspector include the following:
In the Region inspector, the Q-Swing field is located below the Quantize pop-up menu.
The other advanced quantization parameters are available by clicking the More disclosure
triangle. They can be applied to any quantization value (except “off”).
Q-Swing: Alters the position of every second point in the current quantization grid.
Values over 50% delay the beats; values under 50% pre-delay (advance) them. The
most practical settings are between 50% and 75%, which give a swing feel to strictly
quantized (or tightly played) regions.
Q-Strength: Determines how far a note or transient marker is shifted toward the nearest
grid position. A value of 100% results in full quantization, and 0% leaves the note or
transient marker at its recorded position.
Q-Range: Q-Range is ideal for recordings that already have the right groove but are
too hurried or laid back in places. It lets you retain the original feel, but positions the
rhythmic center precisely in the groove. A value of 0 means that every note or transient
marker is quantized. Negative Q-Range values move only notes or transient markers that
fall outside the set range to ideal quantization grid positions, while those closer to an
ideal position are not quantized. In this case, the most poorly played notes or transient
markers—those outside the range—are moved to perfect timing positions on the
quantization grid (or closer to these positions, depending on the Q-Strength setting).
Tip: To obtain the best Q-Range results, use a low, even Quantize value, such as 1/4
note. Set the Q-Range parameter to compensate for the maximum error in the recording.
Q-Flam: Spreads out notes with the same time position, such as chords. Positive values
produce an ascending (upward) arpeggio, negative values a descending (downward)
arpeggio. The position of the first note (either the bottom or top note) is unaltered.
Q-Velocity: Determines how much the velocity values of quantized notes are affected
by the velocity values of a template MIDI region. At a value of 0%, the notes retain their
original velocity. At 100%, they adopt the velocity values of the template. Negative
values alter the velocity, making the deviation from the template even greater.
