Quantize CTRL-Q

With this function you can correct the positions and note lengths of events inside a previous made selection, so that they fit to an even grid. Used to fix inaccuracies after manual recordings.



Quantize POSITIONS of events

If this checkbox is marked and if a MIDI file would have a resolution of 120 ticks per quarternote and a Note On event exists at the position

0001:01:043

and you use this function with a # of ticks value of 30 (sixteen), the event gets the new position of

0001:01:030

because it is the nearest even integer sixteen-note position.

If the original position would have been

0001:01:055

it is moved to

0001:01:060

because in this case 0001:01:060 would be the nearest integer sixteen position.

Quantize LENGTH of Note On events

If this checkbox is marked (in addition or alone to Quantize POSITIONS of events) the notelength value of Note On events will be rounded the same way like the Quantize POSITIONS functionality rounds the MIDI events positions.

If a MIDI file would have a resolution of 120 ticks per quarternote and if a notelength of a Note On event would be

43

and you use this function with a # of ticks value of 30 (sixteen) in the second # of ticks field, the event gets the new notelength of

30

Checkbox only affect Note On and text events

Sometimes it can be useless to change the positions of MIDI events which controll general parameters in your MIDI device, like main volume controller events etc. Nevertheless you maybe need to quantize Note On events which lie in the same area.

With this checkbox you can decide to leave other events than Note On and text events unchanged.
