sailhound Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hi my Q doesn't seem to work at all in piano roll. For example, i select 1/16 in the Time Quantize selector and I select one note in the region and hit Q, Nothing. The note stays where it is. I am running 10.07 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Is strength set to 100? Have you tried doing the same in a new empty project? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plowman Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Also, keep an eye on the note in Event List. A moderate to distant zoom in Piano Roll might not have enough screen resolution to reflect so small a shift. In Event List, you'll see the position number change down to the ticks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgman Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I've never been able to see any movement when using Quantize in the piano roll either. Not on any project at any setting or any version of X. I just thought it was a bug of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taught to over 100 students how to quantize in the Piano Roll in LPX and all of them without fail have seen their notes move to the grid.

bradleyman Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Is there a chance you haven't selected the notes within the region in the piano roll? the scale quantise function works on the whole region, but tempo quantise only becomes active when you select some notes within a region, or all the notes in the region, that's what works for me anyway...

Merlin738 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Def doesn't work sometimes... its gotta be a glitch. Noticed a lot of new glitches on the new Logic update. Apple needs to get it together man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokenarrow Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I just had the same "issue" with midi not quantizing from the Piano Roll window but it WAS quantizing from the Quantize tool. I noticed that my midi file had a few "takes" and was NOT flattened. As soon as I flattened it .. everything was fine!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DINOLOGIC Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 CORRECT! As of Logic Pro (latest version) 10.4.2 - High Sierra Bear in mind people, if you have 2 lines of percussion on differing keys, and you group (lasso) the notes, Quantize FAILS. If you grab the lines separately however and quantize each line individually it works.. How laborious & much does that suck? Never used to be like this... ;( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samfowles Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Dave, just wanted to say THANK YOU. I'm a musician who tries his best to navigate LPX. I do alright, but on countless occasions I run into snags I can't get my way out of, and you always seem to have the answer. Thanks again for throwing the light on many LP mysteries. Cheers!

jedijj98 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I think I found a fix (if this is the actual problem you're referring to). If you record midi takes and you want to quantize in the piano roll or use any of the other sliders in the piano roll, you have to have the specific "midi take" selected in the tracks area. Select the down arrow in the tracks area and that will show all the takes...and then you have to actually select the take and highlight it. Hope this helps. Keep in mind even if the track is highlighted in the tracks area...IT NEEDS TO BE HIGHLIGHTED FROM THE DROPDOWN MENU. will NOT allow you to quantize or use velocity sliders WILL allow you to use quantize and velocity sliders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmtrx Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 None of these solutions have worked. I routinely use the quantize function in the piano roll but occasionally I get a pesky track where the notes actually become LESS quantized when I apply quantization. Eg: the first note of a run will be only a few ticks before or after the beat, but the Q to 1/16th function yanks it to either the 16th before or after the beat it's closest to! Huh? I've checked and re-checked all settings. Proper focus, no swing, Q is 100%, nothing else in the track that would cause it to do this. Makes zero sense. I agree with the other commenter that this is most definitely a bug in 10.5.1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunbrother Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) I'm running into this today and I think there's some strange logic if Snap is set to Smart that some regions or events might run afoul of. There are some combinations of notes I can select within a specific region that will quantize properly, and others that will not. If I select all of them and hit Q, nothing happens. But if I select random groups of them, some quantize properly and others quantize incorrectly. Edited August 18, 2023 by sunbrother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rAC Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 @sunbrother 10.5.1 is quite old now have you/can you update your Logic Pro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunbrother Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) I’m on 10.7.9, which is why I posted, I don’t think this issue is exclusive to that old version Edited August 18, 2023 by sunbrother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonshu Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Also, just an FYI for whoever runs into quantisation issues: Quantisation misbehaves in regions that do not start on a musically sensible subdivision (tick). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakobP Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 There's also the changed behavior with the "Swing" slider, you now need to set it to 50 for "no swing", while earlier you set i to 0 (zero). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
