1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32 notes can be selected as starting time (grid). Uneven quantization values such as
triplets can be created with "n-tole" (see table).
Quantization options (menu options in the MIDI editor):
"Strength" in percent. "100" moves the event precisely to the quantization grid point "50" at the center
between the current position and the quantization grid point, and "0" indicates zero movement, i.e.
quantization off.
Swing: Activates "triplet" play mode. Specifies the division for uneven grid points before 50.
50-50 division: The uneven 1/8 note is exactly half way between the even eighths ("even play" mode)
67..." triplet play, 3-2 division
Window: Events in the window are quantized, those outside remain at their position.
100: Window covers the total range from the grid points of the quantization grid.
50: The window covers half of the quantization interval. Events with gaps of 1/4 of the grid width left and
right of the grid point are quantized; no window = quantization off.
Offset: The entire quantization grid is moved. -100 is a half grid shift to the left (earlier), +100 is a
corresponding shift to the right (later).
N-toles: The grid is divided by the number of sections set as n-toles. You can enter any number you like,
as well as the previously defined numbers.
Reset: Restores the default values. If snap is activated, the notes "snap" to the quantization values when
created or edited. In this case the quantization values are also taken into account. For instance, the notes
snap to the corresponding positions within the quantization window.
Editing selected events (edit fields):
The properties of each event in the piano roll, controller, and list editor can be edited by clicking on the
edit tools below the edit buttons. The following buttons are available for each note:
Channel
Byte 1 (or pitch)
Byte 2 (or velocity, attack)
Start time in bars:beats:ticks
Length in bars:beats:ticks
The display of the ticks has a resolution of 384 PPQ (i.e. 384 ticks correspond with a quarter note).
To edit, click and drag the displayed value. Hold the left key and drag the mouse up or down to increase
or decrease the value.
Hint:
The value steps are greater if you press the Ctrl key.
You can also edit the value numerically via the keyboard. Simply mouse click on figure.
A few special characteristics have to be observed when multi-selecting events:
You can relatively change the values by dragging the mouse, using the mouse wheel or entering numeric
values and then confirming by pressing enter (for pitch and attack rate).
You can make permanent changes by simultaneously holding the shift key when dragging & dropping or
confirming entry with Shift + Enter.
Editing selected events (edit buttons)
The properties of each event in the piano roll, controller, and list editor can be edited by clicking the edit
fields below the editing tools. The following buttons are available for each note:

Byte 2 (or velocity, attack)
(Start) time in bars:beats:ticks
