StepDesigner
The Quantizer has the following parameters:
StepDesigner
The StepDesigner is a MIDI pattern sequencer that sends out MIDI notes and
additional controller data according to the pattern you set up. It does not make use of
the incoming MIDI, other than automation data (such as recorded pattern changes).
Parameter Description
Quantize Note Sets the note value on which the quantize grid is based. Straight
notes, triplets and dotted notes are available. For example, 16 means
straight sixteenth notes and 8T means eighth note triplets.
Swing Allows you to offset every second position in the grid, creating a
swing or shuffle feel. The value is a percentage – the higher you set
this, the farther to the right every even grid position is moved.
Strength Determines how close the notes should be moved to the quantize
grid. When this is set to 100
%, all notes are forced to the closest
grid position; lowering the setting gradually loosens the timing.
Delay Delays (positive values) or advances (negative values) the notes in
milliseconds. Unlike the Delay setting in the Track Parameters, this
delay can be automated.
Realtime quantize During live mode this option can be used to change the timing of the
notes played so that they fit the quantize grid.
