• Magnetic quantize: The "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 "Strength" 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 settings - Grid
Use the "Grid" parameter to set the selection step length and thereby the values for
quantization. A value of "1" provides a snap value of a single note, "2" is a half note, "4" is a
quarter note, etc. There is also a series of decimal values, n-tuplets, and a selection of
special groove templates.
Detailed information about groove templates is available in "MIDI editors -> Quantization ->
Quantization settings - Groove Template (view page 232)"
Quantization setting - indicates beats/beat signature
The desired beat signature and number of beats to be displayed. The display window will
change accordingly.
Quantization setting - Q threshold
The parameter "Q threshold" may be used to slightly vary quantization by excluding notes
from quantization that are very close to the next quantization value.
Quantization setting - 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 raster" and "Q threshold".
Example: Snap: 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
