Quantize bug?

[sreams]

I have used Cakewalk/Sonar since the early 90s (DOS), and I've setup Cakewalk Next for my 10 year old daughter to get her started on music creation. The quantize feature has me stumped at the moment. I record a keyboard part to a MIDI instrument track. I then go to the Piano Roll and select all of the notes I recorded.  In the right pane, I choose "Inspect" to show the quantize dialog. I select the quantize resolution I want next to where it says "Amount" (1/16 note in this case). I then press the "Quantize" button. Sometimes it quantizes to 16ths. Other times to 8ths, quarters, or even half notes. If I then undo the quantize and try a different resolution, it always quantizes to the same resolution it did the last time. If it ended up being 16th notes, I can set it to whole notes and it still quantizes to 16th notes. Is there something I am missing?

@sreams Sorry for the troubles here! We've got our team looking into it to see how we can improve the experience here!

For now there's 2 sort of workarounds you can do:

1) Quantization is always adaptive when you press the Quantize button. This means that it will be based off of the note divisions you see currently in the MIDI editor. For example if you are seeing 16th note divisions in the midi editor and press quantize, it will quantize to 16th notes. If you zoom out so the editor shows 8th note divisions and press quantize, it will quantize to 8th notes. And so on

2) The "Amount" value you see in the inspector panel will correspond to placing and moving notes in the editor. So you also can drag notes individually with your selected value and they will snap to that position.

Hope this helps and thank you for your feedback! Feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.

We're always releasing updates to Next with fixes and improvements so be sure to check the app for updates!
