Notes node
Quantizer
Snaps each note-on forward in time to the nearest grid line, never earlier than when the note actually arrived, at a chosen musical division.
What it does
Quantizer is a note node: it makes, filters or changes notes before a synth plays them. It takes notes in and gives notes out.
Try it
Use a coarse quantize division to lock loose, off-grid playing onto the beat without losing the original note order.
