Specify the snap length (for beat snapping only). Values range from every 4 beats,
every 2 beats, every beat, musical measure and same as quantization.
The setting Musical measure means that, signatures based on quarter notes serve as
a quarter snap unit, and time signatures based on eighth notes serve as a eighth snap
unit. The snap therefore follows the time signature and observes any time signature
changes.
Warning: When the grid is active, the playback cursor jumps according to the set
grid value when forward and rewind buttons are used in the transport console. If you
would like to temporarily shut off the transport controls, press the "Alt" key
simultaneously.
Activate grid: Here you can globally turn the grid on or off.
Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + #
Grid and snap settings: This option brings you to the Project options - General (view
page 473) dialog, where you can change additional grid and snap settings.
In the field labeled wit
h Q you can set the quantization value, which will be used for
MIDI Quantization (view page 207) and can serve as the grid if the corresponding
grid setting "like quantization" is selected. Right click
ing the field opens the MIDI
quantize settings.
Note on "Input Q": In the button skins (e. g. "Camo") you can also find the button
"Input Q" in the MIDI area of the Track Editor. If this function is active, then
recorded MIDI notes will be quantized according to the current settings
immediately. The original position may be restored at any time via the menu item
"Object -> Quantize -> Reset Quantization".
