The Strength parameter determines how strongly the notes
are attracted to the specied quantize value. The strength range is from 0%
to 100%. At a setting of 0% no quantization will occur, while a setting of
100% will cause all notes to be aligned precisely to the nearest specied
beat value. In-between settings produce a corresponding shift in the posi-
tion of all off-beat notes to the nearest specied beat value. With a value
setting of “” and a strength setting of 50%, for example, a note that
does not fall precisely on a quarter note beat will be shifted about halfway
to nearest quarter note beat.
The Swing Rate parameter produces a swing feel by shifting
the timing of back beats, as specied by the quantize value. For example,
if the specied quantization value is 8th notes, then the swing effect will
shift the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure forward to create a
swing feel. If the quantize value is set to a triplet note length, the last note
in each triplet group will be shifted. If the quantize value is set to a com-
pound note length (e.g. 8th note + 8th note triplet) the even-numbered
back beats will be shifted. The Swing Rate parameter determines how
much the timing of the affected notes will be shifted. The range is from
50% (no swing) to 75% (maximum swing) for even note lengths, from 66%
to 83% for triplet note lengths, and from 50% to 66% for even-plus-triplet
note lengths (e.g. 8th note + 8th note triplet).
Aligns to the nearest 16th note + 16th note triplet.
Aligns to the nearest 8th note + 8th note triplet.
