Quantize MIDI

This plugin allows you to variably quantize MIDI notes in real time.

The Device

YouTube link with audio.

  • Rate - Controls the quantization interval.
  • Amount - How much to quantize each note.
  • Grace - Percent of the Rate interval to not quantize. This can be useful if you want to quantize only notes that are far from the grid.

NOTE: Because it is dealing with a MIDI data stream and not acting on the notes in a clip, it can only shift notes forward in time.

Installation

Download the newest .amxd file from the Changelog section below, or clone this repository and drag the Quantize Midi.amxd device into a track in Ableton Live.
