Quantize
The “Quantize” function on the Transport Panel and on the Sequencer Tools tab in the Tool Window is normally used
for applying quantization to notes - but can also be used for quantizing recorded audio. Clicking the Quantize or Apply
button will automatically align the start positions of the selected notes or audio slices to a pre-defined, absolute grid.
You can also choose to automatically quantize MIDI notes as they are being recorded - see “Quantizing notes during
recording”.
Quantization can be applied to:
• Individual (selected) notes in a note clip or in an audio clip in Pitch Edit mode.
This has to be done in Edit Mode/Pitch Edit mode.
• Individual (selected) audio slices in a Single Take audio clip.
This has to be done in Slice Edit mode.
• All notes in one or several selected note clips.
This is done in the Song/Block View. If the clips are on the same lane, it can also be done in Edit Mode.
• All audio recordings in one or several selected Single Take audio clips.
This is done in the Song/Block View. If the clips are on the same lane, it can also be done in the Comp Editor.
! In Edit mode, select clip(s) by clicking on it/them in the Clip Overview.
• All notes in all note clips and/or all audio slices in all Single Take audio clips on one or several selected tracks.
This has to be done in the Song/Block View.
The quantization grid is selected in the Quantize Value drop-down list on the Transport Panel and/or in the Quantize
pane on the Tools tab in the Tool Window:
The Quantize Value drop-down list on the Transport Panel.
The Quantize pane in the Tool Window.
In most situations the Quantize functions on the Transport Panel are probably sufficient. However, if you want more
in-depth quantization functionality, perform the quantization in the Tool Window instead.
q You could also use the ReGroove functions for groove quantizing of notes. See “The ReGroove Mixer”
