parameter couples the length quantization value to the respective raster quantization value
that has been set.
Quantization setting - N-tuplets (8, 5, 7)
The Q grid also provides n-tuplet quantization values (for thirds, fifths, and sevenths). If, for
example, 7 is entered, the grid will be adjusted for septuplets. The count will be divided
into 7 subsections for quantization. A thirds snap is indicated by a "T" behind the number.
Quantization setting - Groove template
Groove templates enable a rhythmic pattern to be applied to selected MIDI events or audio
objects. Groove templates adjust the selected range of a recording to reflect a certain
musical grid. This is used to design static MIDI patterns a little more lively, to quantize audio
drum loops, or to realize special metrics like dotted snap values. It's also possible to set a
rhythmic pattern as the basis for the MIDI pencil. Besides the position, the velocity values
and the note lengths may also optionally be changed with a groove template (MIDI only).
A groove template makes a freely definable snap grid possible. Normally, it has a length of
one to four beats and is repeated cyclically. The length of the groove templates is,
however, essentially freely definable. For example, a snap grid based on the bass drum
track of an entire song could be created to work with the MIDI drum pencil to draw in a
bass that plays along with it exactly. The length and start of groove templates is always set
to full beats.
The snap grid may be selected from the groove template selection box, whereby binary,
triple, and dotted dotted note values will be available.
If a you have selected a groove template, the "Snap/Quantization value" field of the MIDI
editor will indicate "Grv".
The MIDI editor can be used to create new groove templates yourself by selecting the
MIDI events intended to serve as the template and then accessing "Edit -> Create groove
template as selection".
In this case, the groove template will be quantized to whole beats. So if a groove template
is to be created with a length of 2 eighths, set a 2/8 beat signature first.
In addition to each note start position, the note length and the velocity in the groove
template will also be saved. In the file selection box, give the groove template a name. The
groove template will be active immediately and appears in the list of snap quantizations.
Groove velocity (appears only for groove templates): The groove velocity indicates in %
how much the velocity information affects the groove template.
Groove note length (appears only for groove templates): The groove note length
indicates in % how much the note length information affects the groove template.
