To remove groove template entries from the Quantization menu:
1 Select the source MIDI region in the Arrange area.
2 Choose Options > Groove Templates > Remove Groove Template from List (or use the
corresponding key command).
This deletes the selected source MIDI region from the list of possible quantization
templates, thus removing it from the Quantization menu. It does not remove the
region.

projects, follow these steps:

2 Name these regions as desired, with the Text tool.
3 Use the Options > Groove Templates > Make Groove Template function on each source
region.
4 Pack all of these regions into a folder (and rename the folder to Grooves, for example).
5 Use File > Save As Template.
Use this template as your project starting point, whenever you wish to access these
quantization templates.
Importing Groove Templates
You can also import third-party groove templates, such as those made by the Canadian
firm WC Music Research (DNA Groove Templates).
