Question

Hi, I have some problems with the midi groove quantisation. Although I put the velocity slider in the quantisation preset field to 0% sometimes it messes around with my velocities when I put the quantisation button. Is this a kind of bug or am I doing something wrong?

Regards!

Answer 1

Hi Dennis,

It appears to be the case that Groove Quantize ignores that velocity setting (which is more of a multiplier)  and works strictly from the groove velocities.   It doesn't appear to be a bug, but perhaps more a design choice.

It may make for a good feature request however if it doesn't already exist, to have the velocity slider also work with Groove Quantize.

Thank you for your quick answer.

But if the groove quantization follows only the velocity of the original groove, I do not understand why only the second half of the crescendo is getting a new velocity and the rest doesn't. In the original groove the velocities are just like you can see it at bar 43 and 44. There is no crescendo. So after quantization with a one bar groove like bar 43 all bars should look like bar 43 and we shouldn't see any crescendo at all instead of two split crescendos. Am I right?

Answer 3

This is a leftover of a bug that was introduced in 3.2.1, it was fixed for grid quantize however it's still persists in groove quantize. A workaround is freezing the velocity prior to quantizing (or combine them in a macro).

Thank you very much for this lovely work around!
