Window
When you quantize some portion of a project, you might not want to adjust notes that are very far
from the grid. The window, or sensitivity, setting lets you choose how close to the resolution grid a
note must be located for quantize to move it.
A window of 100 percent includes all notes and guarantees that all notes will be shifted to lie exactly
on the grid. The window extends half the resolution distance before and after the quantization point.
A window of 50 percent extends only a quarter of the way toward the adjacent quantization points.
When you use Groove Quantize, you can also perform adjustments on out-of-window events.
There are four options:
Other settings
If you want, you can restrict the types of events that are affected by the Quantize commands to only
notes, lyrics, and audio clips. If you choose this option, SONAR will not modify other events, like
controllers.
Option How it works
Do Not Change Notes outside the window are not changed.
Quantize to Resolution Notes outside the window are snapped to a regular grid of the specified resolution.
Move to Nearest The window or sensitivity setting is ignored—all notes are moved toward the
nearest reference event, regardless of how far off the grid they are located.
Scale Time SONAR finds the two closest events before and after the event in question that
are within the window sensitivity and adjusts any bracketed out-of-window events
so that their relative timing is the same. This option can uniformly speed up, slow
down, or shift out-of-window events.
