Groove Quantize Settings
Quantize Grid Pop-Up Menu
Determines which groove template to use for quantization. All groove template files in the Grooves folder are available in the Quantize Grid pop-up menu.
The directory path for the Grooves folder is:
*   
On Mac: Applications/Avid/ Pro Tools/Grooves
*   
On Windows: C:\Program Files\ Avid\Pro Tools\Grooves
If you organize your groove templates in sub-folders in the Groove folder, they appear as submenus in the pop-up menu. Once you have selected a groove template, specific information about the template’s meter and duration (in bars) is displayed under the pop-up menu.
Show Comments
The Comments field displays any comments saved with the groove template from Beat Detective. The Comments field cannot be edited in the Quantize page, but can be edited when saving a groove template from the Groove Quantize page.
Pre-Quantize
Enable to hard quantize the selected MIDI notes to a sixteenth-note grid before applying Groove Quantize.
Groove Quantize Options
Timing
Enable to apply Groove Quantize to the selected MIDI notes, Elastic Audio events, or audio clips. Use the slider to change the amount of quantization applied to the selection. If the slider is set to 0%, there is no change in timing. A setting of 100% moves notes to the underlying template locations. If the slider is set to 200%, events move to a tick location that is twice the difference between the original event location and the position of the referenced template event.
For example, if an event was played at Bar 1|1|060 (a 16th note), and the corresponding template event is at 1|1|073, a slider value of 100% results in the event being shifted to 1|1|073 (a slider value of 200% shifts the note to 1|1|086).
The default value for the Timing slider is 100%.
Duration
Enable to influence the durations of the selected MIDI notes. The Duration option does not apply to audio selections. At a setting of 100%, durations are changed to match the current groove template. Set to 200%, durations increase and decrease based on the ratio of the original duration of the selected notes and the durations in the template.
The default value for the Duration slider is 100%.
*
Beat Detective does not extract duration information from audio performances. DigiGroove templates created using Beat Detective contain a fixed duration value that is 50% of the selected template resolution (see Defining a Beat Detective Selection).
Velocity
Enable to influence the velocities of the selected MIDI notes. The Velocity option does not apply to audio selections. If the slider is set to 0% there is no change to the selected velocities, a setting of 100% sets all velocities to match the current groove template. A velocity setting of 200% typically results in over-exaggerated velocities—loud notes increasing and soft notes decreasing in volume.
For example, if two adjacent notes have equal velocities of 80, and the two corresponding template velocities are 70 and 90, setting the slider to 200% changes the velocities to 60 and 100.
The default value for the Velocity slider is 100%.
