I need these explained......

I know what SWING is and I assume that the SHIFT TIMING is the same as the "before and after" on the legacy MPCs just in numeric form.

however,

Can someone please explain what "Strength" and "Window" mean and do? In addition, what are their default values supposed to be? If in the pic, they are already at the default values of 100, why?



Thanks y'all

• Swing sets the amount of swing. Values range from 50% to 75% and let you shuffle your beats – from subtle to extreme.

• Shift Timing will shift the notes by clock ticks.

• Window sets the range of notes around a quantize value that will be quantized. Any notes
outside that range would not be quantized, whereas notes inside would.

• Strength determines how hard notes will be quantized, (i.e., shifted toward the quantize value). Lower values only move notes to an certain extent towards the closest quantize value, resulting in a less mechanical feel than a strict quantization.

So the defaults on the screen in the pic are correct?

Correct for what?

Whether that is correct for any given situation is totally up to you and the exact Timing Correct result you want to achieve.

Those settings will give a straight 1/4 note quantise.

I mean when you 1st turn the MPC on out the box, the screen values in the pic are what would show prior to someone changing them?

I know that's the default setting on my MPC Ren as well. When the time correct is set to a Time Div setting other than off.

As for strength the you should be able to lower the number value from 100 to lower setting to not have the quantization shift the notes so strict if you aren't going for a mechanical robotic perfect timing feel to the groove.

Bet...Thanks for the info
