Tightening Up the Note Timing
Inaccuracies in the timing of your performance can be corrected to the
timing interval you specify. This is called the “Quantize” function.
For example, if you intended to play at quarter-note timing, but were
not perfectly accurate, you can tighten-up your performance by
quantizing to quarter-note (1/4) timing.
