If you have changed the Sound focus without changing the playhead position, events
are inserted at the same timings as the original events. In Group view the events cop-
ied from the topmost Sound in the Sound List are pasted onto the focused Sound, and
the other events will retain their vertical position relative to these topmost events.
◦
If you have changed both the Sound focus and the playhead position (e.g., by clicking
in the timeline above the Event area, see section
6.1.4, Jumping to Another Play-
), events are inserted with the first event starting at the
playhead position. In Group view the events copied from the topmost Sound in the
Sound List are pasted onto the focused Sound, and all copied events retain their posi-
tion relative to each other, both on the time axis and on the vertical axis (Sound List
in Group view, pitches in Keyboard view).

Quantizing Events/Notes
Quantization is the process of moving events to the closest steps. You can quantize your notes
at any time, no matter how you recorded them. They will be quantized according to the step
size (i.e. Step Grid resolution) selected. If you turn the Step Grid off, no quantization will be
applied. See section
6.1.7, Adjusting the Step Grid and the Nudge Grid
above for more infor-
mation on the Step Grid and the step size.
There are two strengths of quantization:
▪
Full quantization: Moves each event directly onto the closest step of the current Step Grid.
This allows a perfectly regular rhythm.
▪
Half quantization (50%): Moves each event half way toward the closest step of the current
Step Grid. This allows a tighter rhythm while retaining a human feel.
In addition, if you record notes from a MIDI keyboard or using the pads, and create unwanted
double notes where you don’t want them; MASCHINE automatically detects and removes these
double notes while quantizing.
Quantizing Events via the Pattern Editor Context Menu
Quantize and Quantize 50% is available from the Pattern Editor context menu. This menu pro-
vides the same functionality as pressing Quantize and Quantize 50% on the MASCHINE hard-
ware.
