456 Chapter 19 Quantizing MIDI Events
Some Points to Note When Using Region Quantization
The quantization grid always begins at the start of a MIDI region. If the MIDI region
does not start at the beginning of a bar, neither does the quantization grid. If you alter
the start point of a MIDI region, you also alter the quantization grid.
Important: Unlike other region playback parameters (Delay, Transposition, and so on),
Quantize affects the way notes are displayed in the MIDI editors. This allows you to see
the effect of the chosen Quantize value by looking at the note positions in the Piano
Roll Editor, for example.
Region quantization affects the whole MIDI region. To quantize individual notes or
other event types, use event quantization in one of the editors (see “Event and Note
Quantization” on page 459).
Fine-Tuning the Quantization Grid
You can use the extended region parameters to fine-tune your quantization grid. This
provides a number of additional facilities that allow you to create and apply a swing or
other quantize feel to your MIDI and software instrument parts.
To view the extended region parameters:
m Choose View > Extended Region Parameters.
Once enabled in one window, the extended region parameters are available to all MIDI
editing windows, provided that the Inspector is open.
