6 Creating Original Patterns
Aligns notes in the specified track to the nearest specified beat.

NOTE
Quantization is generally used to tighten up sloppy timing. Use it judi-
ciously, however, because timing that is too perfect can sound cold and
mechanical — unless, of course, you’re specifically aiming for a cold,
mechanical feel. Always use a quantize value that is at least as “short” as
the shortest notes in the track to be quantized. If you quantize a track
containing 16th notes to 1/8 (8th notes), for example, some of the 16th
notes will be aligned with 8th note beats, thus ruining the track.

2: Quantize
Track to be quantized (C1, C2, Ba, or Dr).
Quantize note length (32nd note, 16th
note triplet, 16th note, 8th note triplet, 8th
note, 1/4-note triplet, 1/4-note, 1/2-note
triplet, 1/2-note).
