Midi editing: Quantization
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes488 views
This document discusses quantization in MIDI editing using FL Studio. It explains that quantization is used to align recorded notes to the tempo by fixing them to the nearest timing grid. It then demonstrates how to quantize a melody recording in FL Studio, including opening a MIDI instrument, recording the melody in the piano roll, and using the quantization tool to align the notes to the tempo grid. The document ends by reflecting on how the lesson increased understanding of quantization and its parameters.

Midi editing: Quantization
- 1. MIDI editing: Quantization Emmanuel L坦pez-Pinto
- 2. Introduction With this presentation Im going to show you how to quantize a midi recording using FL Studio 10. Quantization is used to time recorded notes in the right place as our performance cant be completely accurate. This lesson belongs to week 2 of Introduction to music production at coursera.org .
- 3. Midi Instrument To be able to quantize our midi recording, we need to open a new instrument or sound coming from a synthesizer or plugin. In this case Im going to use Nexus. In the picture you can see how to open any of our plugins in FL.
- 4. Midi Instrument There is a lot of presets to use. I will just use the first one as it is a simple melody what I want to do. This lesson can be done with any other plugin.
- 5. Piano Roll Now its time record the melody. We have to open the piano roll, click in the record button (next to play and pause) and just play the melody on our MIDI device or PC keyboard. My result was this sound.
- 6. Quantization Once the recording is done, I pressed ALT+Q to open the quantizer. We can see that notes now are fixed in the tempo lines. Sometimes the quantizer doesnt give us the results we need so we can play with some settings like sensitivity knob to look for our goal melody. Now the melody sound like this.
- 7. Reflection I always preferred to use my mouse to create the perfect timed melody so I was never really aware about how quantization works. I knew about it but just preferred to use my mouse. With this lesson now I know more about quantization and its parameters.
