Timing Correct (TC)

The Timing Correct window contains various settings to help quantize the events in your sequence. You can

quantize note events on MIDI tracks or track regions on audio tracks (though you cannot apply all types of

quantization to audio tracks).

To open the Timing Correct settings:

In Main Mode or List Edit Mode: Tap the TC field at the top of the screen.

In the Grid View: Press and hold Shift and tap TC at the bottom of the screen.

In the Track View or the Step Sequencer: Tap TC at the bottom of the screen.

Note: The TC button in Pad Mute Mode and Track Mute Mode contain Timing Correct settings, but they do

not open this window. See Modes > Pad Mute Mode and Track Mute Mode to learn about those settings.

Press the TC / On/Off button (MPC Live II/One/Key 61/Key 37/Studio only).

To enable or disable Global Timing Correct, tap the Global Timing Correct button. Alternatively, press and

hold Shift and tap the TC field at the top of the screen in Main Mode or List Edit Mode.

To apply the settings you selected to the current track, tap Do It.

To apply the settings you selected to all tracks, tap All Tracks.

To cancel and return to the previous screen, tap Close.

Use the Type selector to set how timing corrections are applied.

Start: The entire note event or audio track region will be nudged forward or backward so the start point aligns

with the closest time division marker in the grid. You can apply this to MIDI tracks or audio tracks.

End: The end points of note events will be extended or shortened to align with the closest time division marker in

the grid. The start points will remain untouched. You can apply this to MIDI tracks only.

Length: The end points of note events will be extended or shortened so that each event’s length is a multiple of

the time division, regardless of where it is in the grid. The start points will remain untouched. You can apply this

to MIDI tracks only.

Legato: The end points of note events will be extended or shortened to create a long, unbroken phrase from the

first note event’s start point to the last note event’s end point. Each note event will sustain until another note event

starts. If multiple note events start at the same time (and are not the last note events), their lengths will become

identical. Selecting Legato disables all other options in this window. You can apply this to MIDI tracks only.

Without legato applied. With legato applied.
