Quantizing
The Quantize command moves events to (or towards) an evenly-spaced timing
grid. The Quantize effect is similar to the Process-MIDI Effects-Cakewalk FX-
Quantize command. For more information, see “Other Settings” on page 298.
The quantize effect parameters are as follows:
To Quantize MIDI Data
1. Select the data to be affected.
2. Choose MIDI Effects-Quantize from the Process menu or from the popup
menu to open the Quantize dialog box.
3. Set the quantization parameters, as described in the table above.
4. Click OK.

Meaning...
Start Times Quantize event start times.
Durations Quantize event durations.
Resolution The spacing of the grid used for quantization.
Tuplet Specify the resolution as a tuplet note, for example 5
notes in the time of 4.
Strength (%) The strength of the adjustments. 100% indicates perfect
quantization; otherwise, the command moves the notes
only part way towards the desired position.
Swing (%) The distortion of timing used to produce a swing feel. A
value of 50% indicates a straight rendition; negative and
positive values produce distortion of the timing grid. For
more information about swing, see “Swing” on page 297.
Window (%) The sensitivity of quantization. A value of 100% causes
all notes to be quantized. Lower values cause the effect
not to quantize notes that are far from the timing grid.
Offset (Ticks) The offset of the quantization grid from the start of
measure boundaries. A value of 0 indicates perfect
alignment. Values less than 0 shift the grid points earlier;
values greater than 0 shift the grid later.
Randomize Causes a random time offset to be added to or subtracted
from each new event time. You must also specify the
maximum offset, as a percentage of the quantization
resolution.
