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
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 of recorded notes with pattern devices in the song (if Shuffle
is activated in their patterns). However, a more flexible way of doing this would be to use the ReGroove mixer - see
“The ReGroove Mixer” chapter for details.
! The Amount setting applies as when quantizing to “regular” note values.
Quantizing notes during recording
It’s also possible to quantize input notes directly during recording. Activation of this function can be made in the Tool
Window and/or on the Transport Panel:
D Enable note quantization by ticking the “Quantize During Recording” check box.
The Quantize Notes During Recording check box on the Sequencer Tools tab
D Alternatively, click the Q Rec button on the Transport Panel.
The Q Rec (Quantize During Recording) button on the Transport Panel
It doesn’t matter where you activate or deactivate this function - the current state is automatically mirrored at the
other location.
Any notes recorded after having activated this function will be automatically quantized to the current settings on
the “Quantize Notes” pane in the Tool Window.
Transposing notes
The Transpose Notes pane in the Tool Window
The “Transpose Notes” function in the Tool Window transposes selected notes, or all notes in selected clips, up or
down. There is also a randomize function which randomly transposes the pitch of selected notes.
