Grid/frames: Activates the frame-based grid.
Specify the snap length (for beat snapping only). Values range from every 4 beats, every 2
beats, every beat, musical measure and same as quantization.
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.
Note: When snap is activated the play cursor jumps in the transport console according to
the snap values, even when using the fast forward and rewind buttons. If you would like to
temporarily shut off the transport controls, press the "Alt" key simultaneously.
Snap active: Switches the global snap on/off.
Shortcut: Ctrl + #
Snap and grid setup: This option jumps to the Project options - general (view page 33)
dialog to specify settings for th
e snap and grid.
The area indicated by a Q to the side you can specify the quantization value used for MIDI
(view page 259) and audio quantization (view page 550), "same as quantiz
ation" sets the
snap setting accordingly. This causes audio and MIDI quantization to be linked (view page
33). Right clicking the field opens th
e MIDI quantize settings.
Note about "Input Q": In the interface skins (e .g. "Camo"), you will see the button
"Input Q" in the MIDI area of the track editor (beside the button for velocity dynamics). If
this function is active, then recorded MIDI notes will be quantized according to the current
settings immediately. The original position may be restored at any time via the menu item
"Object -> Quantize -> Reset Quantization".
Details about audio quantization are provided in the menu reference "Object > Quantize >
Audio quantization wizard (view page 550)".
