Quantization settings
For precise specification of the global grid and quantization options, a separate dialog is
available to you in the MIDI menu under "MIDI quantization settings":
This dialog can also be accessed in the MIDI editor via "MIDI functions -> Quantization
settings" or by right clicking on the "Quantize" button. This dialog displays the main view
depending on the settings in the quantization area and the respective quantization snap
points.
Quantization settings - Preset
You can select different presets:
• 5-tuplet: Quantization occurs in fifths
• Magnetic quantize: The "Q window" value is set to "50", i.e. only 50% of quantization
will be considered. Only those events will be quantized which are located within a range
of 25% of the snap range to the left and right of the grid point.
• Soft quantize: The "Soft Q" parameter is set to "50", i.e. quantization occurs at a half
interval between the current position and the next grid point.
• Swing: The swing parameter is set to "75", i.e. in contrast to the binary rhythm, which
features a "swing" value of "50", inclined/un-highlighted counting times will be set to
delay. This highlights the "swing" feeling.
• Triplets: Quantization occurs in thirds.
• 16th offbeat: The quantization grid's timing is moved back a 16th note
• 8th offbeat: The quantization grid's timing is moved back a 8th note
• "New groove" and "More life for hi-hat" provide groove templates
Of course, you can also set your own values and save them as a preset.
Quantization setting - Q snap / Q length
Both fields for "Q snap" and "Q length" match the fields in the MIDI editor's toolbar. The
settings for grid and length quantization are also located here. The value "#" in the length
