value as the number of notes in a 4/4 measure. If this value is
divisible by 3, then it is triplet quantization. A few examples of
this:
⁄ -Note divides the measure into four parts; this is quarter note

quantization.
1 ⁄ -Note divides the measure into twelve parts; these are three

notes per quarter, so eighth note triplets.
1 ⁄ -Note divides the measure into thirty-two parts; eight per

quarter note which is thrty-second note quantization.

Quantization to Odd Tuplets

This type of quantization subdivides the note value into an odd
number of parts. Strictly speaking, a triplet is already such an
uneven subdivision. The additional settings of 5, 7, and 9 are
available. These settings are seldom needed for conventional
music.

Swing Quantization

A swing feel is produced when the even numbered sub divi-
sions of the beat are played a little bit late. Logic funLogic fun
provides quantization options that will produce a swing feel.
With an even eight-part rhythm every second beat is on 50% of
the range of a quarter, a triplet at 66%, a sixteenth at 75%. With
swing rhythms, these borders are fluid; all values between 50%
and 75% are possible. This is commonly known as the swing
factor.
Logic fun offers six swing gradations, which experience shows
are optimal, for both eight and sixteen part grooves. The
settings are 8A to 8F or 16A to 16F.
PRACTICE: Select all of the sequences in the "B groove" part
in the Tutorial-Song. These are currently quantized with 16C
swing. Now choose the settings 16A, 16B, 16C, 16D, 16E, and
16F one after the other. Each subsequent setting will make the
