Additional Quantizing Functions
Freezing MIDI Quantizing
The Freeze MIDI Quantize function on the Edit menu, Advanced Quantize submenu,
makes the start and end positions of MIDI events permanent. This is useful in
situations where you want to quantize a second time, based on the current quantized
positions rather than the original positions.
Reset Quantize
This command on the Edit menu reverts your audio or MIDI to its original, unquantized
state. This function is independent from the regular Undo History.
Ö The Reset function also resets any length changes that you performed using the
“Scale Length/Legato” slider, see
“The Length section” on page 486.
Creating Groove Quantize Presets
To generate a groove quantize map based on hitpoints that you have created in the
Sample Editor, proceed as follows:
1. Open the Sample Editor for the audio event from which you want to extract the
timing.
2. Create and edit hitpoints.
For further information, see “Working with hitpoints and slices” on page 347.
3. On the Hitpoints tab, click the “Create Groove” button.
The groove is extracted.
If you open the Quantize pop-up menu on the Project window toolbar, you will find an
additional item at the bottom of the list, with the same name as the file from which you
have extracted the groove. You can select it as a base for quantizing, just like any
other quantize value.
4. To save the groove, open the Quantize Panel and save it as a preset, see
“Save/Remove Preset” on page 137.
