Aligns to the nearest 16th note + 16th note triplet.
Aligns to the nearest 8th note + 8th note triplet.
The "Strength" parameter determines how "strongly" the notes
are attracted to the specified 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 specified beat value. In-between settings produce a corresponding
shift in the position of all off-beat notes to the nearest specified 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 beat will be shifted about
halfway to nearest quarter beat.
Original data (assuming 4/4 meter)
Quantizing strength = 100% (quantize value = )
Quantizing strength = 50% (quantize value = )
The "Swing Rate" parameter produces a "swing" feel by shifting
the timing of "back beats", as specified by the quantize value. For ex-
ample, if the specified 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 compound note length (e.g. 8th note + 8th note triplet) the even-
numbered back beats will be shifted. The "Swing Rate" parameter deter-
mines 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).
