To override the quantization and freely adjust the note position or size, hold [Ctrl] ([Cmd] on ma-
cOS) while dragging!
Quantization when Editing Multiple Events/Notes at Once
When you drag multiple notes (or their duplicates) on the time axis or resize them according to
the Step Grid, the various notes in the selection are affected as follows:
▪ The note you click is moved or resized according to the quantizing rule described above.
▪ All other notes in the selection are moved or resized by the same amount (regardless of
their own quantizing rules). When resizing, if the notes have different lengths the length
differences are retained as long as no event becomes shorter than one step.
For example, if you have a drum roll, a flam or any custom sequence happening right before a beat,
this allows you to move the whole sequence to another beat with a perfect timing while keeping its
feel untouched.
Dragging vs. Nudging
Dragging with the mouse is different from the Nudge command on your controller:
▪ Whereas dragging is based on the Step Grid, the Nudge command is based on the Nudge
Grid (see section
↑ 11.1.7, Adjusting the Step Grid and the Nudge Grid ).
▪ Whereas you can drag notes beyond the end of the Pattern, nudged notes reaching the end
of the Pattern are automatically sent to the beginning of the Pattern.
▪ If a note is not on a Step Grid division, dragging it with Step Grid enabled will alternate
between snapping to Step Grid divisions and snapping to positions that preserve its original
offset with the Step Grid (see quantization rule above).
In the software the Nudge command is not available with your mouse but via a keyboard short-
cut:
► Press [Alt] + the left/right cursor key on your computer keyboard to nudge the selected
notes by one Nudge Grid division. If no event is selected, all events in the Pattern will be
affected.
See the hardware section below for more information on the Nudge command.
