Dear All,

How and where can i automate “quantize” like with keyboard command combination “Control + U” in CSS?

I found “quantize” under reactions but i can not get it to work.

Can somebody give me some hints? Is there anybody who knows and have it working and show me their settings?

Thanks for the help, see below my settings,

End this seems to be the created Python code:

self.song().tracks[0].clip_slots[0].clip.quantize(Live.Song.RecordingQuantization.rec_q_sixtenth, None)

Hello JohnC,

Thanks!

Yes quantize works however it seems to always quantize to 1/32, can i change the code line to another value? 1/16th?

self.song().view.detail_clip.quantize(self.song().view.detail_clip.view.grid_quantization, 1.0)

Is it the number 1.0 i have to modify?

Got it working:

self.song().view.highlighted_clip_slot.clip.quantize(Live.Song.RecordingQuantization.rec_q_sixtenth, 1.0)

It was:

self.song().view.highlighted_clip_slot.clip.quantize(Live.Song.RecordingQuantization.rec_q_sixtenth, none)

I only changed none into 1.0
