Flatten Performance - DigiDesign Pro Tools Reference Manual

Any changes made through the standard Quan-
tize, Groove Quantize, Change Duration,
Change Velocity, or Change Pitch commands
will be undone and the original "performance"
will be restored. Also, any notes that were re-
corded with Input Quantize enabled will be re-
stored (see "Input Quantize" on page 503).
Restore Performance does not undo cut, cop-
ied, pasted, or otherwise manually moved
MIDI notes.
Restore Performance also does not undo
Duration changes made by trimming the
start of a note. Trimming the start of a note
is essentially changing the note's timing,
and therefore is treated by Pro Tools as
manually moving it.
Timing (Quantization) Enable to restore the origi-
nal start times of the selected notes. This will
change the durations of the notes if the Dura-
tion option is not enabled.
Duration Enable to restore the original durations
of the selected notes. If the Timing (Quantiza-
tion) option is not enabled, the start time of the
note will not be restored and the note end time
will be affected.
Velocity Enable to restore the original velocities
of the selected notes.
Pitch Enable to restore the original pitches of
the selected notes.
Removing Input Quantize
Restore Performance can be used to remove
quantization on input. For example, if you re-
corded a performance with Input Quantize on,
you can still restore the performance as it was
actually played.
For information on the Input Quantize com-
mand, see "Input Quantize" on page 503.
