Description

The Pocket Lite is the free version of The Pocket — a musical quantizer for Ableton Live that tightens your timing without flattening your feel.

Tighten to the grid with four dials:

• Amount — how far notes move toward the grid

• Leeway — a window around each grid line that's left untouched

• Knee — how gently the correction ramps in

• Bias — pull early and late notes by different amounts

Also included: straight, triplet, and both-grid feels; a manual grid picker with per-clip memory; an always-on live preview so you hear the result before you commit; per-lane control for drums; and commit to session or arrangement clips.

The Pocket Lite is pure MIDI — it works on any MIDI clip, on macOS and Windows, in Ableton Live 12 and up.

Want to shape feel, not just tighten it? The full version of The Pocket adds Swing, groove templates, a push/lay-back Offset dial, and automatic grid and feel detection on every clip you touch. More info and download: https://rubato.audio/the-pocket
