Quantize
Irregularities when recording patterns maybe evened out with quantization. Samplitude
features audio quantization as well as MIDI quantization.
Details about audio quantization are provided in the menu reference "Object > Quantize >
Audio Quantization wizard (view page 550)".
Recorded MIDI events may be set to the exact note start and note length values using MIDI
quantization. Quantization may also be varied with additional parameters like "Soft Q",
"Swing", or "Humanize", which adjust quantized MIDI notes to the musical properties of
each song.
The quantization functions are featured in the MIDI Editor via the "MIDI functions".
The settings for MIDI start and length quantization can be found in the "Menu Object >
Quantize > MIDI Quantize settings" or in the "Grid quantization value" and "Length
quantization" fields of the MIDI editor's toolbar. If in the length quantization values input
field you enter the value # the value will be linked to the respective snap quantization value.
The setting Musical measure means that, signatures based on quarter notes serve as a
quarter snap unit, and time signatures based on eighth notes serve as a eighth snap unit.
The snap therefore follows the time signature and observes any time signature changes.
The grid view in the MIDI Editor corresponds to start quantization value. If you also hold
down the "Alt" key, the grid will be disabled temporarily.
Clicking the "Quantize" button at the top right in the MIDI editor quantizes the start
positions of all selected MIDI objects according to the MIDI quantize settings (view page
259). If no notes are selected, then all notes w
ill be quantized.
Shortcut: Ctrl + Q
Right clicking this button opens the dialog for the global grid/quantize options (view page
259).
The command
"Extended The command "Extended MIDI quantize (start and length
Q)" applies quantization to the start and length of the MIDI notes of all selected MIDI
objects according to the MIDI quantization options.quantize (start and length Q)"
applies quantization to the start and length of the MIDI notes of all selected MIDI objects
according to the MIDI quantization options.
"Soft Q (approximate quantization)" includes the current soft Q values in the quantization
options.
