Dialog box reference ► Input Quantize dialog

The Input Quantize dialog box appears after selecting Quantize Settings in the Input Quantize section in the Inspector.
The Input Quantize dialog box contains the following settings:
*
Resolution. Set the note resolution in either standard note duration or tick value. The resolution determines the size note or time value that you want your MIDI data to conform to.
*
MIDI Event Start Times. Select this option to quantize MIDI event start times.
*
Note Durations. Select this option to quantize Note Event durations to the size of the Resolution value.
*
Only Quantize Notes. If selected, Sonar will not modify other events, such as controllers.
*
Strength. This value determines how closely Sonar moves the selected notes to the resolution value, or “grid”. See Strength.
*
Swing. Use this value to make groups of even eighth notes (or whatever note you want to enter in the Resolution field) “swing”, instead of playing with exact eighth note rhythm. A value of 50 percent, or “50-50”, produces equal durations for both notes—no swing. A larger value makes the first note longer, and vice versa. See Swing.
*
Window. This value determines whether Sonar quantizes notes that are far from the quantization points, or leaves them alone. A value of 100 percent quantizes every note. See Window.
*
Randomize. This value randomizes the three previous fields to introduce a more human feel to the rhythm. The value you enter is the maximum amount of difference from the entered values that the randomize feature can add.
