Ableton Live 4 & MIDI Quantization Help

[Twisted Textures]

Hi

I'm having problems quantizing MIDI notes I have recorded in Ableton Live 4. I've set the 'Record Quantization' to 'Sixteenth Note Quantize', but it doesn't seem to actually quantize the recorded notes. Then when I try to manually quantize the notes, it sets the value to to 1/1. I know the MIDI capabilities of Ableton are'nt as advanced as Logic or Cubase, but surely you can set the quantize value of recorded notes?!

Also, I can't change the quantize view of the MIDI editor in Live. It seems to be set to 1/4, and I can't find an option anywhere to change.

Can someone please tell me I'm being stupid here and missing something, because If Albleton doesn't support these basic MIDI features, I'm not sure why there's any point in using it as a compositional tool.

Thank you

TT

Using 4/4 at 60bpm and setting the global quantize to NONE or
to 8T I just can't record triplets! They are always quantized to
16th!

Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

Hello Typ_27,

Which record quantization do you use (to find in the edit menue)?

Hello Christian,

thanks - this was the right tip! I indeed used 16th as record quant.
Now everything is working fine.

Sorry for the irritation...
