To Quantize MIDI Data
1. Select the data to be affected.
2. Choose Process-Quantize to open the Quantize dialog box.
3. Set the quantization parameters, as described in the table above.
4. Click OK.
SONAR applies the specified quantization to the selected data.
Adding Echo/Delay
The Echo Delay command creates a series of repeating echoes of each
note. The echo notes can decrease or increase in velocity, and can be
transposed from the original by regular intervals.
The parameters used to specify the echo/delay effect are as follows:
Swing (%) The distortion of timing used to produce a swing
feel. A value of 50% indicates a straight rendition;
negative and positive values produce distortion of
the timing grid. For more information about swing,
see Swing.
Window (%) The sensitivity of quantization. A value of 100%
causes all notes to be quantized. Lower values
cause the effect not to quantize notes that are far
from the timing grid.
Offset (Ticks) The offset of the quantization grid from the start of
measure boundaries. A value of 0 indicates perfect
alignment. Values less than 0 shift the grid points
earlier; values greater than 0 shift the grid later.
Randomize Causes a random time offset to be added to or
subtracted from each new event time. You must
also specify the maximum offset, as a percentage
of the quantization resolution.
