“Qua” Setting and corresponding Note Length:

Automatic Display of Triplets

When binary display quantizations are used, automatic triplets will not be displayed at
all. (except for triplets which are inserted with the mouse, using an N-tuplet object).
Therefore a “hybrid” quantization value must be assigned to the Qua parameter, to
enable the automatic display of triplets.

Default Setting

The Qua parameter cannot be set to default in existing Regions, as it could in older
versions of Logic. The default option can only be used with the Insert Defaults, which
determine the default settings for newly recorded or created Regions. If default is
chosen here, the Qua setting of any new MIDI Region will depend on the Global Display
Value
in the Transport window. In this case, the Qua value will always be the hybrid
value which contains the global display value currently set in the Transport window
plus—in case of a binary global value—the next higher ternary value, or—in case of a
ternary global value—the binary value which is divisible by that particular ternary
value.

A few examples: a global value of 1/8 will result in an 8,12 Qua setting for new Regions,
global value 1/12 will become Qua = 4,12, global value 1/16 will result in Qua = 16,24, 1/
24 in 8,24, and so on.

However, if a particular Qua value has already been set in the Insert Defaults (which are
displayed in the Display Parameter box whenever no MIDI Region is selected), all new
Regions will be assigned this value, regardless of the Global Display Value in the
Transport window. Still, any of these values can be changed any time.
