Q Window
"Q window" refers to the interval to the left and right of a grid point; events will be
quantized within this range. No quantization will take place beyond this, and for this reason,
the events outside of this window will remain at their position. The quantization area is
dependent on the values of the parameters "Q snap" and "Q threshold".
Example: Grid: 4 max. Window: 4
 100: The Q range covers the entire area between the grid points on the quantization
grid. All events will be quantized
 50: The Q range covers half of the quantization interval. Events with gaps of ¼ of the
grid width left and right of the grid point (1/16 note values in this example) are quantized
 0: no Q range -> quantization off
Select notes within the Q range
This button activates a display of the selected events that will be quantized for the currently
set Q window size of the quantization range (Q range). The affected events are displayed
with a red outline.
Click in an empty area in the MIDI editor to deselect.
The smaller the window size for the quantization area is, the fewer events will be included in
quantization. The Q range and the graphical velocity display function help, e.g. to assign a
lower velocity to all offbeat notes.
Swing
Set swinging, ternary playing with this value. This enables you to enter the division for an
uneven/unaccented grid points.
 50: "50-50/1:1" split. The unaccented eighths are exactly half way between the even
eighth notes ("even", binary playing method)
 67: "67-33/2:1" tuplets. The beat is split up into three counts, whereby the note is
assigned 2 beats (67%) and the off beat note one count (33%)
 75: "75-25/3:1" split. For example, a pointed eighth and a sixteenth is created from two
eighth notes
Offset
The value range in this parameter stretches from -100 to +100. By changing the offset
values, you move the whole quantization grid. Select a negative value for the offset, and the
quantization grid will be moved by the corresponding value to the left, or forward in time.
On the other hand, if you select a positive offset value, you will set the quantization grid by
the corresponding value to the right, or backwards in time.
A value of -100 corresponds to a shift of half a grid length to the left; +100 corresponds to
a shift of a half a grid length to the right.
Humanize
The "Humanize" parameter creates another variation option, i.e. notes are able to be
assigned according to the randomization principle up to a specific interval to positions
around the exact quantization value. The setting occurs in % of a 16th note. The value
