Quantizing Notes

You can draw notes with a global quantization grid or with an individual quantization grid for each instrument.

To draw notes with the global quantization grid, set the Quantize Presets pop-up menu to the quantize value that you want to use and activate the Global Quantize button.
Note
If you activate Iterative Quantize, the notes are not aligned with the exact quantize note positions, but are moved halfway there.
To change the quantize value for a pad, click the Q column for the sound and select another value from the pop-up menu.
