[DONE by script] Track MIDI Input Quantize: "use grid" setting, ala Normal Quantize
the normal quantize box has a nice option to "use grid," which uses ME grid/swing settings to quantize MIDI.
i really this preference. you can quickly see the grid change against your recorded notes, giving you a preview of what a quantize would do at that setting. this is particularly useful when using swing -- you can see how your swing is going to line up to other off-grid elements of your composition.
track input quantize, however, doesn't have a "use grid" setting. this is a bummer when you're trying to use project swing, as you have to keep track of the input quantize swing param in addition to the grid param.
could track input get that "use grid" option? maybe by pulling grid settings from the current/last open MIDI editor? hopefully this would be an easy addition, because it would go a LONG way for quick, grid-expressive note entry.
thanks for reading.

Just use "Track: Set MIDI input quantize to grid for selected tracks" action

thanks, but that's the step i'm trying to bypass. like the Quantize window, i want an option in the Input Quantize window to be automatically aware of midi editor grid changes.
for example, if you open the normal quantize window and select "use grid," you can change the grid in realtime and see the results, without having to re-engage quantize.
using the action recommended above in the context of input quantize would require the user to re-engage the input quantize setting every time i adjust the midi grid -- doable, but not nearly as clean/inattentive as the "use grid" setting in Quantize

I guess, changing input quantize settings in realtime every time you change grid size can cause lower performance, as input quantize is a per track feature, not global, and you can change the grid a hundred times while you work, so...
In my workflow I set grid to 1/16 or 1/8 then pres button with "input quantize to grid" action, and then I can continue work on project, switch grid here and there, but when I press REC I want to be sure that the input quantize the same as I set it before.
Maybe you just need to use option "use the same grid division in arrange and midi editor" and bind action "set input quantize to grid" to keyboard shortcut and you'll be happy?🙂

in case anyone else wants to link project grid to input quantize grid, check this out --
FeedTheCat wrote me this nice little script. originally, it used an open MIDI editor to push the grid values to the input quantize function. i slowed it down, and changed it to use the main arrange grid instead, because i change the swing grid and have the arrange/midi editor grids linked.
given the above settings/linkage, i can now adjust the swing via mousewheel and have it populate to both Arrange, MIDI editor, and input quantize.
Code:
local prev_grid_val, prev_grid_swing
local _, _, sec, cmd = reaper.get_action_context()
lasttime = os.time()
loopcount = 0
function Main()
local newtime = os.time()
--local hwnd = reaper.MIDIEditor_GetActive()
--local editor_take = reaper.MIDIEditor_GetTake(hwnd)
--if reaper.ValidatePtr(editor_take, 'MediaItem_Take*') then
-- Detect changes in MIDI editor grid
--local grid_val, grid_swing = reaper.MIDI_GetGrid(editor_take)
local _, grid_val, swingon, grid_swing = reaper.GetSetProjectGrid(0, false)
grid_val=grid_val*4
if newtime-lasttime >= 2 then
if prev_grid_val ~= grid_val or prev_grid_swing ~= grid_swing then
prev_grid_val = grid_val
prev_grid_swing = grid_swing
for i = 0, reaper.CountTracks() - 1 do
local track = reaper.GetTrack(0, i)
_, tr_name = reaper.GetSetMediaTrackInfo_String( track, 'P_NAME', '', 0 )
if tr_name:lower():find("ch") or tr_name:lower():find("sequencer") then
local _, chunk = reaper.GetTrackStateChunk(track, '')
local is_input_quantize_on = chunk:match('\nINQ (.-) ') == '1'
if is_input_quantize_on then -- Apply grid settings to track input quantize
lasttime=newtime
local swing = math.floor(math.abs(grid_swing * 100))
local pattern = '(\nINQ .- .- .- ).-( .- ).- '
local repl = '%1' .. grid_val .. '%2' .. swing .. ' '
chunk = chunk:gsub(pattern, repl, 1)
reaper.SetTrackStateChunk(track, chunk)
end
end
end
end
lasttime=newtime
end
reaper.defer(Main)
end
function Exit()
reaper.SetToggleCommandState(sec, cmd, 0)
reaper.RefreshToolbar2(sec, cmd)
end
reaper.SetToggleCommandState(sec, cmd, 1)
reaper.RefreshToolbar2(sec, cmd)
reaper.atexit(Exit)
Main()
