It would be awesome to have an "exclude within" option >.<

Quick bug report:

SWS's built-in grooves work fine, but whenever I try to load a custom groove that I saved through the SWS Groove tool, I get "mpl_Quantize Tool.lua:1106: bad argument #2 to 'TimeMap2_beatsToTime' (number expected, got nil)".

Feature request:

Would it be possible to sort the groove selection menu alphabetically?

The problem seems to be that user grooves are saved with the relative velocity as an extra number in each line:

Version: 1
Number of beats in groove: 4
Groove: 8 positions
0 1
0.46875 1
0.90625 0.614173
1.34375 1
1.98646 0.472441
2.5625 1
3.07604 0.330709
3.65729 1

The function ENGINE1_get_reference_usergroove(rel) expects that each line in the file is a single number.

Temporary fixed (the whole script is bad-coded, noted for potential future development)

i still can`t get this to work..i have a midi item with the swing on one track and the audio i want to swing to the notes in the midiitem on another track. first i press global mode then i press the midiitem get on notes(it says 16 and i have 16 notes in the clip) then i press the audio item then press item..am i doing it wrong? the audio clip moves many bars when i use the apply quantize istead of following the notes,what am i doing wrong?

2.0 version release is second half 2016, I hope.
Test builds will be available soon on my test github repo.

Expected new features for QuantizeTool 2.0:
- new simplified GUI
- store GUI window position
- pattern editor
- improved performance
- import .mid as groove
- startup actions
- presets system
- support for tempo changes
- support for time signature changes
- support for snap offset
- quantize offset
- pattern-based persistent invisible grid in main window

...and hope I'll fix known bugs by rebuilding 80% of code.

This project (as many oothers) is supported only by your donations. There is no motivation to spend a lot of time building this since I don't use it for myself much. So I let you choose what price you can pay for my work depending on how much this tool is useful for you.
so, there

I write QT2 step-by-step, but it is not in priority. I focused currently on modular audio-visual live with NI Reaktor, that seems more important than some lines of code. QT 1.8 is pretty enough for what it was designed for. Potential improvements will be mostly about the code, structure, performance and GUI then new features.

Can you attach simple example (RPP)?

.. Pattern Editor for Quantize Tool 2.0. So the question is how this could be implemented better.
Currently I imagine data flow this way:
- get midi item as groove (positions + velocity)
- quantize something to that groove (also both velocity and positions)
- set strength and gravity area parameters
So, with the pattern editor we will be able to add a division where needed?
That would be awesome.

Donated.

Understand is not a priority but could you consider adding the Quantize to Snap Offset option?

thanks

I don`t think I`ll add this to current version (too much bad code), but snap offset support is planned for QT2.0 both for reference and destination objects.

Any chance this would work for multitrack grouped items
when only one of the trakcs are selected?

And edges:
When comping then Q,
edges gives unwanted high stretch-ratios.
Preferably there should be an option to use hidden stretch-marker on the other side of the edge.

"Restore stretch markers.."
is often causing me trouble
as I'm expecting "restore in selected item"
not in something I worked on some minutes before.
But, I'll try to remember

Cool tool! I must be missing something obvious, but how can I have it keep settings between closing and opening the window? Every time I close it, it resets to default settings and moves its window position top-left. This is making it slower to use than the MIDI editor functions.

A toggle action for the window itself would be nice too, though I realize this is not a priority for you. Thanks all the same.

Yes, that possible theoretically, but needs deep rebuilding. The project temporary not in progress.

That is sad. I'd like to see a "final" version to get acquainted to before deciding what tool to use for this purpose. (That is why I am lurking.)

Thanks for your work !

You can use Quantize Tool v.1
with tempo envelope.
But, it requires a workaround.

Make a midi loop, with desired resolution, eg. 8th-notes.
Roll it out over your whole project. Glue.
Then use:
Reference, midi notes
Setting: global.

But, there are a few bugs, both in Reaper and in QTool,
so, I really hope something will evolve into a QTool v2
that addresses these things.

I get the displayed text:
"Set grid spacing lower than 1

Yet I use 1/4, 1/8 and the likes.

What to do?

v.5.50pre12 x64, win 8.1

btw: any chance for an update that handles tempo-changes and looped midi?

Seems it is related to new swing grid support.

There aren`t any requests even on Cockos forum about QuantizeTool improvements except you, so I don`t want to spend a lot of time for making something almost nobody will use at all. I have some rebuilded from zero logic/GUI/concept code, but it is early beta. Deal with tempo changes is damn complex and need to working with beats (currently everything converted to seconds). Looped MIDI and audio - also hard to implement.

5.50rc8 works half-ok to me (regular grid, swing off).

Oh, is it only me depending on Qtool?
I'd have to look at other daws if not for it.
Anyway, a fix for current swing-grid,
would be very appreciated.

Yes, I have one request pending since ages: add "snap offset" support for media item. Now QTool just quantize based on item left border not snap offset

Wow. An update.
I'll go to my studio and see if I can progress now

No mentioning of any bug-fix. But I'll update to latest reaper/script and see :fingerscrossed:

mpl: Will you update QTool, or should I turn turn to other DAWs/tools?

(ok, thanks!)

Actually, I've found my way to use QTool v1 for all the tasks I want.
Not much bugs, just needs some workaround and attention for tempo, looped midi and offset.
So, happy user here (until now)

Thanks mpl! this is a very great tool!
I miss some of the "regular" Reaper quantize item feature.
1. "Move grouped items with selected items"
2. "Extend starts of items to overlap with earlier items by .... ms"
3. "Shorten earlier items if quantized items overlap by more than .... ms"
4. "Quantize item ends and stretch item to fit"

Do you think you can implement those in the future? Or can you suggest some Reaper action to do that (i can't find any).

many many thanks!

Hi, MPL.

I recently noticed Acid Pro being updated. And since I have some history with Acid, I decided to look at what new features it has. Well, everything looked like "ok time to do some catch up" and "yep, yep,.. uh huh... Reaper has all of that", ya know the usual check. But when it got to the groove library/editor. I got quiet.

I've used Ableton (which allows you to listen to a kinda midi playing of grooves and allows you to extract them from audio as well). Bitwig most likely does the same or similar. And the others (Studio One, Cubase, etc), most likely have their groove workflows.

Your script can use the SWS Grooves, Reaper Objects, and custom swing to set the groove. However, when I saw Acid's groove tool, it just seemed like the best solution I've ever seen when it comes to groove management. I like the fact that it has a browser and that it displays a nice relational grid. These things I've seen you do before, and I was hoping that you can possibly utilize a similar approach for groove management. Here's the video:

https://youtu.be/FAciip2pmr4?t=1m28s


Also, after some testing, it seems that groove previewing is destructive, can it be that possibly an alternate version of the target be copied and refreshed with each new audition? Also... side note... Man I'm loving the RS5K Manager right now.
