there are times when i want a MIDI part to be more in time, but i don't want it 100% quantised, because that makes it sound unrealistically 'perfect' and unconvincing for many styles of music. i would like the quantise function not to be all-or-nothing, but instead, to let you choose just how in time the part becomes when you quantise it. so for example, you select "quantise", then it would ask you how much you want it quantised (eg a range from 1-100%), you choose X%, and then rather than pinning every note the nearest 8th/16th/etc, it would only move the note X% of the way towards it from its pre-quantised position, leaving it still a little out of time - just enough to have a human feel, without that suspiciously robotic feel of something being overly in time.
(i am aware of Max's Humaniser, but that just introduces random lagging to each note without rhyme or reason, which is not the same thing as a deliberate human performance that inevitably contains a small element of human error.)
I wish for more flexibility with quantising
Re: I wish for more flexibility with quantising
thank you. i had no idea about that. there's a lot in that to explore in there, but looks like the groove pool's quantise is gradiated in the way i'm looking for.

???That's Live 9. I believe you'll find more in-depth info in 10.4.7 section "Quantizing Notes" in the manual.
Basic gear info: Macbook Pro with macOS 10.12, Ableton Live Suite version 9 (64bit) with Ozone, Push and APC20 as controllers.

I would like to have at least "1/32 + 1/32T" option as well, this is great for nasty grooves and fast drum rolls.
