Quantize setting Corresponding note value
96 1/64-note triplets
192 1/128-note triplets
384 1/256-note triplets
When a single-value setting is used, automatic triplets are not displayed at all (except for
triplets inserted with the pointer, using an N-tuplet object).
Important: The Quantize parameter must be set to a triple quantization value to enable the
automatic display of triplets.
You can override the Quantize value for a group of notes using tuplets; see Add and edit
tuplets in the Logic Pro Score Editor.
The Quantize pop-up menu also includes a Default setting for new MIDI regions, which can
only be set with the Insert Defaults setting; not for existing regions. If Default is chosen,
the Quantize setting of new MIDI regions is dependent on the current division value in the
LCD. If the division value in the LCD is a duple value (such as 4, 8, or 16), the Quantize
value is set to that note value plus the next highest triple value (such as 6, 12, or 24). If the
division value is a triple value, the Quantize value is set to that value plus the duple value
that is divisible by that (triple) value.
For example, a global division value of 1/8 results in an 8,12 Quantize setting for new
regions; a value of 1/12 becomes a 4,12 Quantize value; a value of 1/16 results in a Quantize
value of 16,24, 1/24 in 8,24, and so on.
Note: If a particular Quantize value has already been set in the Insert Defaults, all new
regions use this value, regardless of the division value in the LCD. You can change any of
these values at any time.
For swing notation, use 8,12 for the Quantize parameter to display eighth-note triplets
and also display two uneven notes on one beat as regular eighth notes. For double-
time passages containing sixteenth notes, you can either cut the MIDI region containing
the double-time passage (in the Tracks area) and assign it a higher Quantize value with
the double-time note value, or use hidden N-tuplets for the sixteenth notes. For more
information, see Add and edit tuplets in the Logic Pro Score Editor.
For swing sixteenth notes (shuffle funk, hip hop, and so on), the same principle applies. In
this case, choose 16,24 as the Quantize parameter.
You can fix the display quantization of all MIDI events in the projects using the Score
Editors Functions > Quantization > Fix displayed Note Positions and Fix displayed Note
Positions and Durations commands. These commands may be useful for exporting projects
(complete with display Quantize settings) to other notation programs that don’t feature
display quantization. The commands are also available from the shortcut menu when you
Control-click notes in the score.
