NOTE AND AUTOMATION EDITING

4. Click the Quantize button on the Transport Panel or the Apply button in the Tool Window.
The selected notes are quantized.
A sloppily recorded hi-hat pattern is quantized to straight 1/4 notes (Quantize Value 1/4, Amount 100%).
D Quantization can also be applied to note(s), audio slice(s), clip(s) and track(s) by right-clicking(Win) or [Ctrl]-
clicking(Mac) and selecting “Quantize” from the context menu.
The current settings on the “Quantize” pane in the Tool Window will apply when performing this operation.
Random
You can offset the quantized notes/audio slices using the Random function. The notes/audio slices will be quantized
according to the Value and Amount settings, but the note/slice positions will be randomly offset by the set tick value.
E.g. if you set Random to 10 ticks, the notes/slice positions will randomly vary within a +/- 10 tick range after apply-
ing quantization.
Quantize to Shuffle
In the Value drop-down list, you will also find an option called “Shuffle”. If this is selected when you quantize, the
notes/audio slices are moved towards sixteenth note positions, but with Shuffle applied.
Shuffle creates a “swing feel” by delaying the even-numbered sixteenth notes (the sixteenth notes that fall in be-
tween the eighth notes). The amount of Shuffle is set with the Global Shuffle control in the ReGroove Mixer. Quan-
tizing to Shuffle is useful if you want to match the timing with pattern devices in the song (if Shuffle is activated in
their patterns).
A more flexible way of doing this for notes and note clips is to use the ReGroove mixer - see “The ReGroove Mixer”
chapter for details.
! The Amount setting applies as when quantizing to “regular” note values.
