Track Functions: 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 (Quantize)

Quantizing moves Note events so that the intervals between notes are more even. There are two
ways to quantize the notes in your songs: as you record them, or after you record them. The
Quant parameter controls the amount of quantizing that occurs after recording. The Quant
parameter works together with the Grid parameter, which sets the maximum amount that notes
can get moved. (See Grid below.)
The value of Quant is a percentage of the maximum . A value of Off means no quantizing; this
preserves the exact timing of what you recorded. A value of 100% means maximum quantizing,
which moves notes to all the way to the nearest interval (as specified by the value of the Grid
parameter). This doesn't change the duration of the notes.
See Quant (Input Quantizing) on page 3-29 to learn about quantizing tracks before you've
recorded them.

Grid

This parameter works together with the Quant parameter to control quantizing (see Quant
(Quantize) above). The Grid parameter sets the maximum "distance" (in terms of time) that a
note can get moved, while the Quant parameter determines how much of that distance the notes
actually move.
The value of the Grid parameter determines the number of divisions—called grid points—
within each beat. It's expressed as a fraction (1/1, 1/2, 1/3, etc.), including triplet values (instead
of 1/12, for example, you'll see 1/8tr).
If the notes you've recorded don't fall exactly on the grid points, quantizing moves them closer.
The value of the Quant parameter determines just how far the notes get moved.
You can set any value between 1/1 (quantizing to whole notes) and 1/384 (probably
imperceptible, except at extremely slow tempos). you can press the Increment/Decrement (+/-)
buttons simultaneously to jump to standard quantizing intervals (1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc.).

Swing

This parameter controls the amount of swing (syncopation) that you add after recording. The
value of Swing is expressed as a percentage. When you apply swing, the sequencer moves every
other grid point—either toward the next grid point (when the value of Swing is positive) or
toward the previous grid point (when the value is negative).
A value of 125% (maximum swing) moves every other grid point
next grid point. Smaller values move the grid points a smaller distance. A value of 0 (the
