Multiples of 1/8 as quantize option ?

Post by Stavros »

Im wondering what solutions people might have for quantizing to a beat in a typical 4/4 situation?
Assuming a cycle is a BAR.......My understanding is that I can only quantize to a whole cycle or and 1/8 of that cycle...but not a 1/4 or 1/2
Since a beat would typically be 2 1/8 notes I cant really quantize to the beat.

It would be nice if we had option to define multiples of the 1/8 in the quantize window.
All that would be required is provide an extra parameter in the 1/8 quantize window which allows for multiples of the 1/8 ( just like the 1/8/cycle numbers)
So it would be an option to select 1/8 x 2 as a quantize value to get 1/4 notes or 1/8 x 3 for interesting musical effect

I do realize that I can set 1/8 /cycle to 4 and it will basically do what I want...but the problem with that is it gives me a BPM which is half of what it should be so if Im using backing tracks in mainstage and driving the mainstage clock from SL its not correct timing.

If Im missing something and I can do this now please let me know.....

Any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks kindly
