Groove Quantize dialog
Window
This field determines what SONAR does to notes that are far from the quantization points. See
“Window” on page 721. The Window fields include the following:
• Sensitivity. This value determines how far from the quantization grid SONAR looks to find
notes to quantize. A value of 100 percent quantizes every note. See “Window” on page 721.
• If Outside Window. This field offers the following choices:
• Do not change. Choosing this option means that SONAR leaves notes alone that lie
outside the window.
• Quantize to Resolution. Choosing this option means that SONAR quantizes out-of-window
notes according to the resolution value instead of the groove pattern.
• Move to Nearest. Choosing this option means that SONAR moves out-of-window notes to
the nearest groove event.
• Scale Time. Choosing this option means that SONAR moves out-of-window notes so that
they are equally spaced.
AudioSnap Beats
Check this box if you want AudioSnap transients to be quantized.
Only Notes, Lyrics and Audio
Check this box to prevent MIDI controller, aftertouch, and xRPN data from changing.
Strength
The values in the Strength section determine how closely SONAR changes the selected notes to
match the groove’s values.
The Strength section has these fields:
• Time. Drag the slider in this field to set how closely SONAR moves the start time of the selected
notes to the groove’s start times.
• Duration. Drag the slider in this field to set how closely SONAR moves the durations of the
selected notes to the groove’s durations.
• Velocity. Drag the slider in this field to set how closely SONAR moves the velocities of the
selected notes to the groove’s velocities.
Define button
Click this button to define a new groove pattern. See “Defining a groove” on page 724.
Auto XFade Audio Clips
When quantizing audio, empty space can occur between clips. Select the Auto XFade Audio Clips
check box if you want to automatically fill in the gaps and create an automatic crossfade between
selected audio clips. Filling the gaps is accomplished automatically by “rolling out” the first clip’s right
edge and the second clip’s left edge to create a crossfade.
