Quantize to grid
Small irregularities during recorded playing can be smoothed with the
quantization function. In contrast to this mechanical sounding
sequences can be a little more groovy by applying the "Swing"
function.
Clicking on "Quantize" button shifts all selected notes to
a customizable quantization grid.
All notes are quantized without previous selection.
1/4, 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32 notes and
corresponding triplets can be selected
as starting points (grid) and lengths.
The Quantize button always quantizes the note start time and the
length (the note's start point and length are preset). "MIDI functions -
> Advanced quantization" provides other quantization modes (e.g.
length only or Soft Q).
The quantization options enable all types of quantization to be set
more precisely.
Quantization grid ("Snap")
If snap is activated, the notes "snap" to the quantization
values when they are created or edited.
The quantization values are also considered. For instance, the notes
snap to the corresponding positions within the quantization window.
The snap positions are displayed within the piano roll as a matrix. A
swing quantization is displayed by the different intervals of the vertical
partitions in the piano roll. The grid can be hidden with the "Show
quantization grid" command in the options menu ("Alt + G").
You can deactivate the snap function while creating or editing notes
by holding down "Alt" as you draw them.
Move relatively on grid ("Options" menu): If this option is active, then
notes keep their original intervals relative to the grid and not to the
note start when they are moved; the distance moved snaps to the
quantization value. Use this option if you want to move unquantized
notes a certain distance without disturbing the timing.
