Quantize to grid
Small irregularities when playing to record can be smoothened with the quantization function. In contrast,
the "swing
" function makes mechanical-sounding sequences sound groovier.
Clicking on "Quantize
" button shifts all selected notes to a customizable
quantization grid.
All notes are quantized without previous selection.
1/4, 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32 notes can
be selected as starting points (grid)
and lengths.
Uneven quantization values such as triplets can be created with "n-tole" (see quantization options). #
at note lengths uses the value for the start time.
The "Quantize
" button always quantizes the note start time and the length. The menu MIDI functions provides other
quantization modes (e.g. length only).
The quantization options enable all types of quantization to be set more precisely.
Quantization grid ("Snap")
If snap is activated, the notes "snap" to the quantization
values when they are created or edited.
The quantization values are also considered. For instance, the notes snap to the corresponding positions
within the quantization window.
The snap positions are displayed within the piano roll as a matrix. A swing quantization is displayed by
the different intervals of the vertical partitions in the piano roll. The grid can be hidden with the "Show
quantization grid" command in the options menu ("Alt + G").
You can deactivate the snap function while creating or editing notes by holding down "Alt" as you draw
them.
Move relatively on grid ("Options" menu)
: If this option is active, then notes keep their original intervals relative to the grid and not to the note start
when they are moved; the distance moved snaps to the quantization value. Use this option if you want to
move unquantized notes a certain distance without disturbing the timing.
Keyboard shortcut: Shift + G
