MIDI Quantize Options dialog

The MIDI Quantize Options dialog allows you to customize the quantization settings you want to apply to imported MIDI files and notes input by recording with a MIDI device.

You can open the MIDI Quantize Options dialog in any of the following ways:

  • Click Quantize Options in the MIDI Import Options dialog.

  • Click Quantization Options in the Recording subsection of the Play page in Preferences.

Note

Your settings are linked between both ways of accessing the dialog.

MIDI Quantize Options dialog

The MIDI Quantize Options dialog contains the following options:

Quantization unit

Allows you to set the smallest beat unit to which you want notes to be quantized. For example, if the smallest intentional note duration in your imported file is an eighth note, set Quantization unit to eighth notes.

Detect tuplets

Allows you to control whether off-beat notes can be considered tuplets. If you know there are no intentional tuplets in your imported MIDI file, deactivating Detect tuplets ensures no notes are imported as tuplets.

Quantization unit for tuplets

Allows you to set the smallest beat unit to which you want tuplet notes to be quantized. For example, if the smallest intentional tuplet note duration in your imported file is a quarter note, set Quantization unit for tuplets to quarter notes.

Fill gaps

Allows you to determine whether Dorico Pro fills in gaps between short notes. If you are importing already precisely quantized music, we recommend that you deactivate Fill gaps to ensure that note and rest durations are notated exactly as quantized.
