Quantizing MIDI and Audio
Quantize Panel
168
You can open the Quantize Panel by clicking the corresponding button on the
toolbar or by opening the Edit menu and selecting “Quantize Panel”.
Common Settings
Quantize Presets Pop-Up Menu
On this pop-up menu, you can select a quantize or a groove preset.
Save/Remove Preset
The preset controls allow you to save the current settings as a preset, making
them available on all “Quantize Presets” pop-up menus. This includes Swing,
“Catch Range”, etc.
• To save a preset, click the “Save Preset” button (the plus sign) to the
right of the Quantize Presets pop-up menu.
A preset name is generated automatically, according to your settings.
• To rename a preset, open the “Quantize Presets” pop-up menu, select
“Rename Preset” and enter the new name in the dialog that appears.
• To remove a user preset, select it and click the “Remove Preset” button.
Non-Quantize
This setting allows you to create a safe zone before and after the quantize
positions, by specifying a “distance” in ticks (120 ticks = one 16th note).
Events that lie within this zone are not quantized. This allows you to keep slight
variations when you quantize, but correct notes that are too far away from the
grid positions.
Grid Display
In the middle of the Quantize Panel the grid display is shown. The green lines
indicate the quantize grid, that is, the positions that audio or MIDI is moved to.
Randomize
This setting allows you to set a distance in ticks, so that your audio or MIDI is
quantized to random positions within the specified distance from the quantize
grid. This allows for slight variations and, at the same time, prevents your audio
or MIDI from ending up too far away from the grid.
