Quantize
Use the Quantize function to adjust the timing of Note events.  Keep in mind that only Note 
events are quantized; other types of events, such as controllers, are not quantized.

Quant: Off / 1% Ð 100%
The Quantize parameter determines how much the selected Note events are moved towards 
grid locations. If set to Off, no aligning of previously recorded notes to grid locations will occur. 
If set to 100%, every recorded Note event will be aligned to the closest grid location, deÞned by 
the Grid setting. Notes will be moved to a position half way between the grid location and the 
original Note-event location if Quant is set to 50%.
Grid: 1/1 Ð 1/384
This setting determines the size of the Quantize grid, expressed as a fraction of a Bar with a 4/4 
meter. Set Grid to 1/1 for whole note grid, 1/16 for sixteenth notes. All of the standard note 
durations and every fractional Bar divisions in between are available as the size of the Input 
Quantize grid. Press the Plus/Minus buttons simultaneously for quick selection of grid values.
Swing: -99% Ð 125% (defaults as 0%)
The Swing percentage is applied to the quantize grid. 0% swing is straight time, 100% produces 
a swing feel (triplet feel). A positive Swing value determines how close every other grid location 
is moved to a point 1/3 of the way towards the next grid point. Negative Swing moves every 
other grid location closer to a point 1/3 of the way towards the previous grid point.
Shift: -26.020 Ð 26.020 (Beats and Ticks, 480 Ticks = 1 Beat)
In addition to quantizing the selected note events to speciÞed grid locations in varying amounts, 
the Quantizing function allows you to offset the original note locations forward and backward 
in time any number of ticks (1/480th of a Beat) up to 26 Beats, before aligning them to grid 
locations. Shift is used to compensate for any notes played too early or late.

Release: Yes / No
Set the Release parameter to Yes if you would like each quantized note eventÕs Note Off 
message to be aligned to the grid location nearest to the time the key was originally released.
