Operation Manual

Copy, Cut, Paste And Clipboard Operations
You can select a group of notes to copy, cut or paste in the expected manner. You can use the keyboard shortcuts 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 indicator.
Alternatively, you can select notes and paste them to a new clip on track by clicking on a track, positioning the caret in
the desired location and then pasting.

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.
For example, if you had a recording of eighth notes and set your Quantize Note Start to be eighth notes and then set
your swing to 30%, you would end up with a rhythm where every other eighth note is offset by 30% to the next eighth
note.
This shows the eighth notes before the swing quantization:
We then quantize to eighth notes with a 35% swing.
