Chapter 42: Event Operations 891
The Quantize Event Operation and Quantize to Grid
commands can both be used to quantize re-
gions. However, each command also has a spe-
cific additional use.
Use the Quantize to Grid command (Region >
Quantize to Grid) to adjust the start points (or
sync points) for selected regions. The Quantize to
Grid command can be applied to both MIDI and
audio regions (see “Quantizing Regions to Grid”
on page 591).
The Quantize Event Operation, on the other
hand, can be applied to MIDI notes and Elastic
Audio events individually in addition to audio
region start times (or sync points). Some notes
or events may be moved back in time, others
forward. For MIDI notes only, some may be
shortened, some lengthened, and some more
drastically affected than others.
To open the Quantize window:
 Choose Event > Event Operations > Quantize.
To select Grid Quantize:
 From the Quantize Grid pop-up menu, select
a note value.
To select Groove Quantize:
 From the Quantize Grid pop-up menu, select
a groove template.
You can also quantize MIDI input, see “In-
put Quantize Command” on page 913.
The settings in the Quantize window are
saved with each session. To store your fa-
vorite settings for use in future sessions,
save them as part of a session template (see
“Session Templates” on page 168).
Press Option+0 (Mac) or Alt+0 (Windows)
to open the Quantize window.
