Menu Reference
Over Quantize
Quantizing is a function that automatically moves re-
corded notes, positioning them on exact note values. This
quantizes the selected MIDI parts or notes, according to
the current Quantize pop-up menu setting.
Iterative Quantize
Instead of moving a note to the closest quantize grid posi-
tion, Iterative Quantize moves it only part of the way. You
specify how much the notes should be moved towards the
grid with the Iterative Strength setting in the Quantize
Setup dialog.
Quantize Setup…
In the Quantize Setup dialog you can make various quan-
tize settings.
Advanced Quantize
Transpose…
This opens the Transpose dialog, where you can make
transpose settings for selected notes.
Freeze MIDI Modifiers
This function applies all filter settings to the respective
track and takes the result as the new standard.
Dissolve Part
This item has two uses:
• To separate events according to MIDI channel when a
MIDI Part contains events on different channels (MIDI
channel “Any”).
• To separate MIDI events according to pitch.
Drum tracks typically have separate drum sounds for each pitch.
O-Note Conversion
This function (only available if a drum map has been as-
signed for the MIDI track) goes through the selected MIDI
part(s) and sets the actual pitch of each note according to
its O-note setting. This is useful if you want to convert the
track to a “regular” MIDI track (with no drum map) and still
have the notes play back the correct drum sound.
Functions
Option Description
Quantize
Lengths
This will quantize the length of the notes without chang-
ing their start positions. At its most basic level, this func-
tion will set the length of the notes to the Length
Quantize value on the toolbar of the MIDI editors.
Quantize
Ends
The Quantize Ends function on the Quantize submenu
will only affect the end positions of notes. Apart from that,
it works just like regular quantizing, taking the Quantize
pop-up menu setting into account.
Undo
Quantize
You can revert the selected MIDI notes to their original,
unquantized state at any time. This is independent from
the regular Undo History.
Freeze
Quantize
There may be situations when you want to make the
quantized positions “permanent”. For example, you may
want to quantize notes a second time, having the results
based on the current quantized positions rather than the
original positions. To make this possible, select the notes
in question and use this function.
Option Description
Legato Extends each selected note so that it reaches the next
note. You can specify the desired gap or overlap with the
“Legato Overlap” setting in the Preferences (Editing
page).
Fixed
Lengths
Resizes all selected notes to the length set with the
Length Quantize pop-up menu on the MIDI Editor tool-
bar.
Delete
Doubles
Removes double notes, i.e. notes of the same pitch on
the exact same position. Double notes can occur when
recording in Cycle mode, after Quantizing, etc. This func-
tion always affects whole MIDI parts.
Delete
Controllers
Removes all MIDI controller events from the selected
MIDI parts. This function always affects whole MIDI parts.
Delete
Continuous
Controllers
Removes all continuous MIDI controller events from the
selected MIDI parts. On/Off events, such as sustain
pedal events, are not removed. This function always af-
fects whole MIDI parts.
Delete
Notes…
Allows you to delete very short or weak notes. This is
useful for automatically removing unwanted “ghost
notes” after recording. Selecting “Delete Notes…” opens
a dialog in which you set up the criteria for the function.
Restrict
Polyphony
Selecting this item opens a dialog in which you can spec-
ify how many “voices” should be used (for the selected
notes or parts). Restricting the polyphony this way is use-
ful when you have an instrument with limited polyphony
and want to make sure all notes will be played. The effect
is achieved by shortening notes as required, so that they
end before the next note starts.
Pedals to
Note Length
This function scans for sustain pedal on/off events,
lengthens the affected notes to match the sustain pedal
off position, and then removes the Sustain Controller on/
off events.
