Quantize and Quantize 50% in the Pattern Editor context menu.
To apply full or half quantization using the MASCHINE software:
1. Select the events in the Pattern Editor you want to quantize. If nothing is selected, the
whole Pattern will be quantized.
2. To apply full quantization to the selected events, right-click the mouse and select Quan-
tize from the context menu.
3. To apply only a small amount of quantization to keep the groove you created after record-
ing your pattern, right-click the mouse and select Quantize 50% from the context menu.
4. To undo/redo Quantize use hotkeys: Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y (Cmd+Z/Cmd+Y on macOS).
Using Quantization on the Controller
You can quantize your notes at any time, no matter how you recorded them. They will be quan-
tized according to the step size (i.e. Step Grid resolution) selected. If you turn the Step Grid
off, no quantization will be applied. See section ↑11.1.7, Adjusting the Step Grid and the
Nudge Grid for more information on the Step Grid and the step size.
You can also choose to have notes automatically quantized as you record them on the pads! See
section Quantizing while Recording for more information.
