Sensitivity
Range: -100 — 0 — +100%
This determines the range over which notes will be quan-
tized. At 0% no quantization will occur. A setting of either
-100% or +100% will cause all notes to be quantized.
Refer to the graph below for an idea of how the quantize
range is determined by other settings. The heavy solid lines
in the sensitivity graph represent the range over which
notes will be quantized. At a setting of +50%, for ex-
ample, only notes that fall within the range that is less than
halfway to the quantize range of the adjacent note will be
quantized. Notes outside this range and those of adjacent
notes will be left un-quantized.

Gate Time
Range: 0 — 200%
This determines how much the note durations are affected
by the Swing effect. This parameter sets the ratio between
the shorter and longer gate time values. A setting of
“100%” maintains the original relationship between the
notes, lower values produce a narrower gate time range,
and higher values produce a broader gate time range.

and higher values produce a broader gate time range.
●
Velocity
Range: 0 — 200%
This determines how much the note velocities are affected
by the Swing effect. This parameter sets the ratio between
the lower and higher velocity values. A setting of 100%
maintains the original relationship between the notes, while
lower values produce a narrower dynamic range, and higher
values produce a broader dynamic range.

Swing Rate
Range:
• 50% (no swing) to 75% (maximum swing) for even
note lengths
• 66% to 83% for triplet note lengths
• 50% to 66% for even-plus-triplet note lengths (e.g.,
• 50% to 66% for even-plus-triplet note lengths (e.g.,
8th note + 8th note triplet)
This determines the strength of the swing feel, or how
much the timing of the affected notes will be shifted. This
effect produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of
“back beats,” as specified by the Quantize setting. For
example, if the specified Quantize value is 8th notes, then
the Swing effect will shift the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats
of each measure forward to create a swing feel. If the
Quantize value is set to a triplet note length, the last note in
each triplet group will be shifted. If the Quantize value is
set to a compound note length (e.g. 8th note + 8th note
triplet), then the even-numbered back beats will be shifted.
