Quantise

Pulls performed attacks onto a grid, with strength deciding how far each note moves.

Quantise pulls each attack to the nearest grid line, and strength decides how far it travels.

The problem

Attacks always sit off the beat; an even offset is groove, a scattered one is drag. Quantise fixes the second, not every deviation.

How it works

The engine reads each note start, finds the nearest grid point, and blends between origin and grid by strength. The grid can be a sixteenth, an eighth triplet or a swing grid; note ends and velocity stay put by default. Audio is sliced first, and then slice edges move.

Settings and practice

Choose the coarsest grid that still holds the shortest value, start strength at half and raise it only if the result is unclear. Quantise onsets and keep tails, never put triplets on a straight grid, and leave drum micro-timing while bass and chords can sit tighter.

What to listen for

Hear whether attacks lock and whether accents are pulled away. The hat-to-kick relation exposes over-quantising, while a slightly late snare adds push.

Common misunderstandings

Quantise cannot fix wrong notes or create groove. Full snapping is not the goal, and half strength is often more natural.
