REAL time Quantizer - quantize in real time
Hi!
I would like know if there is something like a quantizer for Ableton that can be used live. (for concerts)
I found one but it doesn t work for me. It does a good job quantizing the notes that I play a little "ahead", but with the notes that are a little "later", it will just move them to the next mark. Which means that if I play a note a milisecond later, I will sound on the next mark. If I set 1/8, it will sound on the next quaver.
I attached a picture so you understand.

My question is: is there a quantizer for live performances that you recommend and that don´t have this problem?
It would be ideal that if I play a note a little later, It just leaves that note like that since it belongs to the previous mark, not the following one.
I will really appreciate any recomendation.
Thanks.

You can just use record quantize in Ableton.
I guess you are playing a part while recording then launching the loop?

But doesn't work live. You can recorded and then you have it quantized to play it.
What I want is to play it and hear it quantized at the same time.

Please explain how (on earth) would work a live quantizer that would quantize hits that you play late.

OP said they want notes that are played a little late to be left as ischapelier fou wrote:Please explain how (on earth) would work a live quantizer that would quantize hits that you play late.
I'm not sure about such a device but I bet you could create something that would do this in max for live

Oh I see.
I'll try to code a device that does it, it shouldn't be too difficult. Interesting idea !

Re: REAL time Quantizer - quantize in real time
You can do this by loading the arp and note length plugs and setting arp rate and note length each to 1/4, 1/8 etc.
edit: probably won't do what you want....

ctrl + left/right = select transient
ctrl + shift + left/right = select between transients
ctrl + space = play selection

This would be nice to test. Not a bad idea at all ! You're sometimes surprised how far you can go with Live's native devices only.dna598 wrote:You can do this by loading the arp and note length plugs and setting arp rate and note length each to 1/4, 1/8 etc.

i still don't see how this would work.oratowsky wrote:OP said they want notes that are played a little late to be left as ischapelier fou wrote:Please explain how (on earth) would work a live quantizer that would quantize hits that you play late.

you would essentially have a script that says quantize to the right spot, if i don't play in the wrong spot.
maybe at really low bpm...

Re: REAL time Quantizer - quantize in real time
it sounds pretty straightforward (to my caffeine-starved brain anyway):
the algorithm is: if a note is early or late, delay only if the next quantize point is closer than the previous one...

Re: REAL time Quantizer - quantize in real time
seems pretty easy to me as well.... Do we have a patching challenge ?

If someone can do it, It´ll be extremely appreciate it.chapelier fou wrote:seems pretty easy to me as well.... Do we have a patching challenge ?
I found this one online:
http://www.maxforlive.com/library/devic ... ubali-edit
But it has the problem that I mentioned above. When you play a little late, it takes the note to the next quantization mark.
When the note is played a little late, I want the note to stay as it is.
I wish I could do it myself but Im not very familiar with Max for Live and don´t know how long would take me to learn it.
Thank you.
BTW, I cant believe how no company has already invented something like this before.

This is the midi controller I would like to have real time quantizer for.

Re: REAL time Quantizer - quantize in real time
I found this video of Mr. Bill talking about such a device being used by Destroid. I'm not able to find it though as he just briefly mentions it. Does anyone else have any luck on finding something?
