.
-clip separation-
(AUDIO ONLY)
.

.
-duplicate the track first-

.
*TRIGGER PAD* —>

(can be adjusted in increments of [1 milli-second])
.
.
-THE “BEAT TRIGGER” IS THE “SYNC POINT” THAT DETERMINES WHERE THE CLIP WILL BE PLACED IN THE [TIMELINE]-
.
-CLIP CONFORM-
-AUDIO ONLY-
.
-conforms all [separated clips] to the session’s [tempo map]-
-can be used in conjunction with [groove templates] / [standard quantization]-
.

-increasing “strength” aligns the performance more closely to the [grid]-
.
*recommended stength* —>
[85%] – [88%]
.
-EXCLUDE WITHIN-
(0% – 100%)
-THIS PREVENTS [CLIPS] WITH [ENDPOINTS] NEAR A “GRID LINE” FROM BEING “CONFORMED”-
.
-lowering ”exclude within” captures the “feel” of the performance-
-increasing “exclude within” aligns the performance more closely to the [grid]-

[0%] – [200%]
.
-THE “TIMING %” MEASURES HOW CLOSELY YOUR [CLIPS] ARE CONFORMED TO THE “GRID”-
-lowering ”timing %” captures the “feel” of the performance-
-increasing “timing %” aligns the performance more closely to the [grid]-
.
-at [100%], the clips will be perfectly conformed to the grid-
.at [200%], the clips are moved PAST their associated “groove template triggers” until they are just as far away from the trigger as they were originally-
.
*[pre-process] using [standard conform]* —>
