Resolution
Set the note resolution in either standard note duration or tick value. The
resolution determines the size note or time value that you want your MIDI
data to conform to.
Change
• MIDI Event Start Times—Select this option if you want the start times of
the MIDI events in the selected data to be quantized.
• Note Durations—Select this option if you want the length of notes to be
edited to fit into the size you chose in the Resolution field.
• Only Quantize Notes—If you select this option, SONAR will not modify
other events, such as controllers.
Options:
• Strength—This value determines how closely SONAR moves the
selected notes to the resolution value, or “grid.” See Strength.
• Swing—Use this value to make groups of even eighth notes (or
whatever note you want to enter in the Resolution field) “swing,” instead
of playing with exact eighth note rhythm. A value of 50 percent, or “50-
50,” produces equal durations for both notes—no swing. A larger value
makes the first note longer, and vice versa. See Swing.
• Window—This value determines whether SONAR quantizes notes that
are far from the quantization points, or leaves them alone. A value of
100 percent quantizes every note. See Window.
• Randomize—This value randomizes the three previous fields to
introduce a more human feel to the rhythm. The value you enter is the
maximum amount of difference from the entered values that the
randomize feature can add.
