548 Chapter 21 Editing Audio in the Sample Editor
Maximum Range
This is where you set the maximum time (in milliseconds) that an audio peak can
deviate from a quantization point—in the chosen quantization grid template (Quantize
by menu).
 Small values are suitable for quantizing audio material with a similar groove.
 Large values allow you to use a quantization grid that deviates more from the
original groove of the audio material. This, however, increases the risk of
misinterpretation.
Start by experimenting with smaller values for the Maximum Range parameter (as
small as possible, and as large as necessary).
Audio to MIDI Groove Template
For detailed information on the Audio to MIDI Groove Template function, see “Creating
an Audio to MIDI Groove Template” on page 487.
