What to Quantize
The options under “What to Quantize” deter-
mine which aspects of the notes are quantized:
attacks, releases, or both.
Attacks When selected, note start points are
quantized.
Releases When selected, note end points are
quantized.
Preserve Note Duration When selected, note du-
rations are preserved.
When deselected with the Attacks option se-
lected, note end points are not moved.
When deselected with the Releases option se-
lected, note start points are not moved.
If the options for both Attacks and Releases are
selected, the Don’t Change Durations option is
ignored (and dimmed).
Figure 25 shows how notes are adjusted by the
different What To Quantize options.
Quantize Grid
The Quantize Grid determines the beat bound-
aries to which notes are aligned. Any size from
whole notes to thirty-second notes (including
dotted values) can be selected for the Grid size.
Tuplet Select the Tuplet option to quantize irreg-
ular note groupings like triplets or quintuplets.
The Quantize Grid for tuplets is calculated from
the note size selection and the Tuplet value. For
example, if an eighth note equals 480 ticks, tu-
plet eighth notes with 3 in time of 2 would yield
a Grid size of 320 ticks (480 ticks / 3 * 2).
