The information may also be useful for those who use other MIDI sequencers. This quantizing functionality was initially introduced as a means of allowing musicians to record music and then automatically correct the timing. For example, if you play four notes, and the fourth note is slightly out of time, the quantize function can automatically re-align the fourth note. The problem with this basic quantising approach is that it assumes that every song written should use perfect timing, as based on the metronome. In reality this is not always the desired outcome.
Some musicians intentionally express themselves using irregular or mismatched timing.
The next quantising breakthrough occurred as a result of musical research. We'll look at this later in the article. The first step, when using Quantize, is to specify the Quantize value. Pull notes to nearest whole beat. Pull notes to nearest half beat.
