Beat Quantization

Non-destructive playback quantization for MIDI and audio clips.

NOTE: While Beat Quantization can apply to both MIDI and audio clips, it is primarily intended for MIDI playback quantization. Audio beat quantization is an in-process experimental feature that will work better with some sources than others.

Beat/Grid Display

The display at the top of the Beat Quantization display shows the grid points to which notes are pulled when quantized. The lines are a sixteenth-note grid. The white dots are the grid points to which notes are quantized. The display is dynamically updated as the settings are changed.

The play button plays clicks at the grid points to sonify the quantization grid.

Quantization Types

No Quantization

No quantization.

Basic Quantization

Quantized to fixed grid points.

Options:

• Grid spacing: Eighths, Sixteenths, 32nds, 1/8 Triplets, 1/16 Triplets, 1/32 Triplets
• Intensity - How strongly to quantize the notes.
• Swing - Swing places even numbered grid divisions later than they would normally be.
• Randomness - Randomness moves notes forward and back by random amounts with the amount of possible shift controlled by its slider. Randomization is applied after all other transformations which allows you to humanize the even strongly quantized notes.

Groove Quantization

Quantize to grid points derived from a MIDI or audio loop or audio file.

Options: Intensity, Randomness

To delete a groove, swipe left on its name in the groove list.
