Quantize timing in the Piano Roll Editor in Logic Pro

You can quantize, or automatically correct, the timing of individual MIDI notes in the Piano Roll Editor. This is useful when regions in the track contain the right notes, but are not perfectly in time with the project. When you quantize the timing, items are adjusted to the selected note value. You can quantize the timing of regions with drums, single-note instruments, and chordal or polyphonic instruments.

The Time Quantize controls quantize notes and other items non-destructively, for playback only. The original timing is never lost, and can be recalled by setting the value to off.

Quantize the timing of notes in a MIDI region

  1. In Logic Pro, double-click a region in the software instrument track that you want to quantize to open it in the Piano Roll Editor.
