This is a MIDI Effect Rack for Ableton Live. You can just drag and drop this on a MIDI track e.g. in front of a Drum Rack. The “Live Quantize” device is designed to route MIDI notes coming from an electronic drum kit/pad (using General MIDI Drum Map standard) to single drums and groups: Kick, Snare, Snare Rim, Toms, Ride, Crash –
Every single/group hits here can be adjusted tocertain note values relative to the master tempo and being quantized live while playing. A straight foward way to live quantize edrums to Ableton Live.
Of course this means notes are being pushed back to the next note value which is selected for this drum/group. The quantization is always 100% and on the spot. This leads to some ‘stiff’ -ness. In other words: Creating a funky or jazzy feeling with this device is not what it is intended to do.
If you are going for some 4 on the floor techno feeling this device might suits you.
This device won’t make you a better drummer instantly and is based on the technique of playing slighty early or spot on. But still gives you an easy way to live quantize edrums to Ableton Live.
