Groove Quantize

edited September 2021 in App Tips and Tricks

I’m an old Cubase user and since the early versions back in the 80s it has a function called groove quantize - see how old this is. It enables you to not only quantize to notes or apply swing but to take a groove from another recording and and then quantize other tracks with that groove. It was also possible to create such a groove quantize with the mouse.

I’m missing such a function very much and in all my iOS sequencers there is nothing like that or I haven‘t found it yet. Does anybody know if any iOS app can do that?

    I have never used the function but the Genome MIDI sequencer has the ability to apply a groove from another MIDI file (if you were talking about MIDI, that is):

    “
    Groove Popup

    You can pick a groove for this pattern here. First load grooves into your song by pressing the load button. Then press the drop down to pick a groove. Currently we provide standard swing style grooves. You can also create your own groove from the current pattern. If you select this, genome will attempt to copy the time variations from the existing notes in the pattern. The ideal pattern to use would be a 16th note pattern. The best way to create a groove is to record yourself playing or to import a MIDI track that has a groove on it. Deleting a groove will remove it from the song (which means any patterns using it will be set to 'none'.). Applying a groove is non-destructive, meaning it won't affect your notes timing, except during playback. This means you can switch grooves without modifying your pattern. If for some reason you want to apply the groove template destructively, you can press the 'commit' button.

    Also been looking for that.
    I came across Photon and Genome but didn't get them in the end.
    Grooverider has different groove/swing patterns per pad/track..

    Edit: and Auria works with groove templates..

    You can do this using BM3.

    Photon has this feature.

    Can BM3 load external midi grooves? I haven't seen this. Would be nice to know where and how.

    I don't know about importing BM3 importing midi files, I haven't ever needed to,
    but if it can import midi files you can simply take the midi file with the groove embedded
    and reassign the notes to the part or parts that you need to groove.
    Nothing to it.
    You can do that in any DAW.
    In regards to taking an audio clip then using the Slice mode in BM3
    you can create a midi file and use that.
