Quantizing Segment Pitches to Musical Scales

You can quantize the pitches of specific note segments to a musical scale that you set up for a track, either in the Sample Editor or in the Key Editor.

Prerequisite

  • The audio file is segmented. You have opened the audio in the Sample Editor, and you have activated Edit VariAudio in the VariAudio section.

  • The Scale Assistant is set to Use Editor Scale, and you have chosen a musical scale based on the suggestions of the Scale Assistant, either in the Sample Editor or in the Key Editor.

Procedure

  1. Open the Pitch Snap Mode pop-up menu, and select an option to define how the segments snap to the pitches of the scale.
  2. In the event display, select the note segments whose pitches you want to quantize to the selected scale.
  3. Click Quantize Pitches.

Result

The note segments are quantized to the nearest pitches of the scale. The Pitch Snap Mode is taken into account.
