Description

Warning - The latest versions of Live 12 have revealed a timing problem in this device and it does not emit perfectly timed notes. They are off by 3-7ms.

This plugin allows you to variably quantize MIDI notes in real time.

Seamlessly transition from un-quantized to quantized, at your selected time interval. Works on any MIDI note stream, be it from clips or outboard gear.

Hello,
There seems to be a delay of a few milliseconds that causes the notes to not align properly with the grid (even with grace set to 0% and amount to 100).

Hi @naerliona -- Sorry for the trouble on that. I've managed to reproduce the problem you're describing and spent a couple of days trying to get the timing perfect. Sadly I was not able to improve it :( Perhaps I'll have an idea in the future, but in the meantime I will put a warning on the description about the bug.
