Reference Quantize

The Reference Quantize function is similar to the Quantize function in that it aligns Note events
to a grid. The difference is that the grid locations are not mathematically perfect divisions of a
Bar. Instead, Reference Quantize defines the grid based on the timing of note events from a
previously recorded reference track.
RefSong: 1 NewSong
Use this parameter to select a song from which you'll then select a reference track. Select the
song containing the desired reference track as the RefSong value.
RefTrack: 1 – 16
Use RefTrack to select the track to be used as the reference track. The timing of this track's note
events is used as the quantization grid that's applied to the current track when you use
Reference Quantize.
Timing: Off / 1% – 100%
The Timing parameter determines how much the selected note events are moved toward grid
locations. If set to Off, no aligning of previously recorded Notes to grid locations occurs. If set to
100%, every recorded note event gets aligned to the closest grid location, defined by the timing
of note events from the reference track. Notes are moved up to the limit set by the value of the
Quant parameter—for example, a value of 50% for Quant means that notes get moved half the
distance from their current location to the nearest grid point.
Velocity: Off / 1% – 100%
In addition to referencing the timing of note events on the reference track, you may also scale the
attack velocities of the note events being quantized to velocity values closer or identical to the
velocities played on the reference track.
Leave the Velocity parameter set to Off if you want to reference only the note event timing when
using Reference Quantize. Set Velocity to 100% to have the velocity values of the note events
being quantized exactly match the velocity values of the note events on the reference track. A
setting of 50% changes the velocities to values halfway between the velocity values originally
recorded and the values on the reference track.
Region / Criteria Box
Width: 1/1 – 1/384
The Width setting determines the duration of a window of time centered around each of the
referenced grid locations. If a note event on the track being quantized happens during this
window of time, it will be moved closer to the referenced grid location according to the Timing
percentage. Note events occurring outside this window of time remain unquantized.
