The following works in Logic Pro, not Express: First, some background: In the Arrange, you have what's called the "Region Parameter Playback Box", where you can adjust the Quantize, Velocity, Gate Time, Loop, Transpose and Delay for MIDI regions. If you double-click on any of the words above (not here in this email, but in Logic itself!) you will open up a variation of this same box with more parameters (called Extended Region Parameters Box). There's also a key command and menu command for this somewhere. You'll notice a a function there called Q-Strength (Quantize Strength). Normally, it's set to 100% so that things quantized to any give note value are moved exactly there. But often when you record a MIDI performance, setting this to something less than 100% is a happy medium between sloppy (but human) playing and robotic perfection (not that there's anything wrong with this in many contexts). There are also some other "Q" parameters there. Read the manual. For example, there's one that'll ignore notes that are close to the grid but only quantize ones that are further away. And there's one for the opposite. This makes sense when you're playing a bunch of 1/8th notes but every so often there's a note(s) that is supposed to NOT be an 1/8th note. f-erenc szabo, smarty pants Z+E+R+O+B+E+A+T "NOW POWERED BY THE MIRACLE OF THE TRANSISTOR!" <http://home.goodmedia.com/~zerobeat>
