Quantizing MIDI and Audio
Quantizing means moving recorded audio or MIDI and positioning it on the nearest grid position that is musically relevant. Quantizing is designed to correct errors, but you can also use it in a creative way.
Quantize Panel
The Quantize Panel allows you to define how to quantize audio or MIDI to the grid or to a groove. Depending on what method you choose, different parameters are shown.
Quantize Presets
The quantize presets are displayed at the top of the Quantize Panel. Here, you can load and save presets that include all settings for quantizing.
Creating Groove Quantize Presets
You can create a groove quantize preset, based on hitpoints that you have created in the Sample Editor.
