Quantizing Events/Notes

Quantization is the process of moving events to the closest steps. You can quantize your notes
at any time, no matter how you recorded them. They will be quantized according to the step
size (i.e. Step Grid resolution) selected. If you turn the Step Grid off, no quantization will be
applied. See section ↑7.1.7, Adjusting the Step Grid and the Nudge Grid
mation on the Step Grid and the step size.
Quantization can be performed from your controller only.
There are two strengths of quantization:
▪ Full quantization: Moves each event directly onto the closest step of the current Step Grid.
This allows a perfectly regular rhythm.
▪ Half quantization: Moves each event half way toward the closest step of the current Step
Grid. This allows a tighter rhythm while retaining a human feel.
In addition, if you record notes from a MIDI keyboard or using the pads, and create unwanted
double notes where you don't want them; MASCHINE automatically detects and removes these
double notes while quantizing.
7.4.7.1 Using Quantization on the MASCHINE MIKRO Controller
You can quantize your notes at any time, no matter how you recorded them. They will be quan-
tized according to the step size (i.e. Step Grid resolution) selected. If you turn the Step Grid
off, no quantization will be applied. See section
Nudge Grid for more information on the Step Grid and the step size.
You can also choose to have notes automatically quantized as you record them on the pads!
See section ↑7.2.5, Quantizing while Recording
To apply full or half quantization:
1. Select the events you wish to quantize. If nothing is selected, the whole Pattern content
will be quantized. See
2. To apply full quantization to the selected events, press
3. To apply only a bit of quantization to keep the groove you created by playing your notes
