Cubase tuplets?

[alexis]

Hello, fellow Cubase users!

Is there a way for C14 Pro make a clump of notes perfectly in time as tuplets, e.g., triplets/5 notes/7 notes spread over one or even two bars (with the rest of the notes being “straight, non-tuplet” in nature), even though they were recorded with inaccurate timing?

I've tried using the Q panel, but for some reason it isn't working there like I thought it would.

Thanks for any help!

Turn off Quantization?

Turn off Quantization?

Good thought, thanks, but I never (well, almost never, and not here) have that on/ use it.

Select the notes you want to quantise, set quantise value to triplets - quantise!

If you want other notes quatised to other values... select them, choose a different quantise value - quantise!

Beautiful, thanks!

What do you do for 5-tuplets, 7-tuplets, set across 2 bars, perhaps?

Here's something for triplets, along the lines of what The Elf said, perhaps (I haven't tried it yet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_NQJcoUXGs&t=2190s

Still wondering about 5-tuplets, 7-tuplets, when spread across 2 bars.

I've never felt the need to place 5ths or 7ths over a 4/4 bar!

If I did...

Maybe easiest to record the 7 notes over 7 beats of 4/4 (i.e. bleeding into the second bar), quantise these, then use time stretch to pull the MIDI event back to a single bar.

I don't know of any DAW that has quantise to 5ths or 7ths.

Here's Greg Ondo, quantizing 5 beats over 1 bar, seems like it can easily be extended to 7 notes (like a fast sax run):

I think I'll learn to live without tuplets across two bars, though I found I was trying to play that the other day without meaning to.

More Greg Ondo on Cubase tuplets (placing 3 or 5 or 7 beats equally spaced across a measure or beat, etc.):
