Editing Controller Information

Copy, Cut, Paste And Clipboard Operations

or simply right click on the Piano Roll Editor and select the appropriate operation. Once you copy or cut some

notes or partial notes, the notes reside in the clipboard. You can paste them at the position of the playback

Quantizing Notes

Quantization is the process of aligning a set of musical notes to a precise setting. This results in notes being set

on beats and on exact fractions of beats.

Click the Quantize... button on the Piano Roll Editor to quantize the notes.

Quantize All or Selection

Choose whether to quantize the selected notes or all the notes in the current virtual instrument clip.

You can quantize the start of the note(s) and/or the duration(s). After making your choice, click OK to quantize the

note(s).

Quantizing Note Start

Click the checkbox next to Quantize Note Start and then choose a setting. The software will move all notes to the

closest beat or partial beat, based on the selection. In addition, you have the option of choosing a swing setting. If

you want to quantize with swing, click Swing Amount. Swing will offset every note that is on an odd beat or odd

partial beat, depending on the quantize note start setting.
