Tool window - Tools page
note editing functions
The Tool window - Tools page contains some special editing functions. Proceed as
follows:
1. Select the clips or events to which you want to apply the editing functions (in
Arrange or Edit mode).
The functions are mainly used with notes, but not all; the Scale Tempo function will
also affect automation and pattern changes (see below), and Automation Cleanup
only affects automation events. Automation Cleanup is described separately - see
“About Automation Cleanup”.
2. Make sure the Tool Window is open.
The [F8] key shows/hides the Tool Window.
3. Select the Tools page.
D The Tools page has a number of panes, each with a separate function.
The panes can be folded/unfolded by clicking on the arrow beside the function
name.
4. Make settings for one of the functions on the page and click the Apply button
next to the settings.
All settings can be made by clicking the spin controls, or by clicking in a value field
and entering a value numerically. The functions are described below.
Quantizing
The Quantize function moves recorded notes to (or closer to) exact note value posi-
tions. This can be used for correcting errors, “tightening up” recorded music or
changing the rhythmic feel.
In Reason, you use the Quantize function in the following way:
1. Select the notes you want to quantize.
Only the note events will be affected, so you can select note clips or whole tracks
if you like.
2. Pull down the Quantize Value pop-up menu on the Tool Window - Tools page
and select a Quantize value.
This determines to which note values the notes will be moved when you quantize.
For example, if you select sixteenth notes, all notes will be moved to (or closer to)
the closest sixteenth note position.
The Quantize pop-up menu.
3. Select a value from the Quantize Amount pop-up menu.
This is a percentage, governing how much each note should be moved. If you se-
lect 100%, notes will be moved all the way to the closest Quantize value positions;
if you select 50%, notes will be moved half-way, etc.
