Hi folks,
I just updated from SX3 (!) to 7 and I’m trying to make the most of the new features.
One thing I do frequently is switch between a custom Quantize value and 1/1. The problem is that when I switch to 1/1 it keeps my swing value, which means I can’t move things in even one-bar increments.
Can any of you power-users recommend a way to get around this? Ideally I’d like to just have one keystroke to take me between the two.
thanks in advance!
Matthew
Actually, I can use Switch Grid Type to go between swung 16th notes and a bar. What would be nice is to go between, say, 1/8 (non-swung) and 1/16 (swung).
If I get what you’re saying, the problem is custom quantize presets don’t show up in the key commands.
Maybe what you could do is create a macro- with the first command being one of the existant values, like 1/128, followed by as many “Select next Quantize” as you need to get to your custom one.
I don’t have an idea for you how to toggle using just one key though…
macros (multiple keycommands in one shortcut) are your friend . They are at the bottom of the Key Commands screen. Create them in the combinations of Quantize and Quantize feature on/off you need. There a couple of on/off that don’t work right with itertative Quantize enabled. But, you should be able to get a 80% solution.
You guys are awesome. Macros did the trick perfectly:
Set Quantize to 1/64
Toggle Quantize Dotted
Select Next Quantize
It even functions as a toggle. Yay!
Keep that quiet, we don’t want to let it leak out that people actually get help on this forum. It would ruin our reputation.
I have known this for years but I have never read
a more elegant and precise description.
Right on J. Good teaching.
