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.
