Grid Editor – Change articulation of selected notes without quantizing

[Eirik Hjortdahl]

Hi,

I wonder how I can change articulation of some selected notes without quantizing/snapping to grid? Often the grooves are played by humans and not exactly on time. I’d like to keep the original timing when changing an articulation, but moving the notes makes them snap to the grid. (mouse select and drag)

Any way around this?

BEST ANSWER

You can hold shift to “lock” the horizontal position of the notes when moving them by click and drag.
