Quantize
Quantize either can be based on a grid or a
groove template. For grid quantize, additional
tuplet and grid offset settings are available in ad-
dition to the standard MIDI quantize properties.
For groove quantize, additional controls are pro-
vided to set the extent to which the groove’s du-
ration and velocities are applied. Both grid and
groove quantize also let you set a strength
amount, an “include” range, and a randomize
amount.
