#Quantize to Scale

Isn't this already built into Ableton?

I'm not sure lol , if is , I built the same with my hands lol

Does Quantize to Scale respect the full scale/mode definition from Live, or only the root key? For example, would A Minor, A Dorian, and A Phrygian each produce different quantization results?

No, there is no "quantize to scale" in the drop-down window or when selecting all notes within a clip and right-clicking to view the drop-down window. There is only Quantize. It’s such a useful tool you would think Ableton would include it, but that’s what Extensions are here for, I guess !

Doesn’t « fit to scale » do the same in the MIDI clip main panel ?

What the extension could improve is that when you click on "Fit to Scale", the "wrong" notes always goes to the note below. Maybe it could be done more smartly.

are u saying what the extention could improve on that abletons fucntion cannot do? or a way to make the extention better?

you can just brainstorm another function that does what abletons does not
leaden meadow
yes, I think there's room to make a "real" quantization utility, that would eventually quantize to only the root note when set at 100%, and to tonic notes at 50% etc.

i'll keep in mind that @leaden meadow thanks for your feedback
leaden meadow
it would work better as a MIDI Transformation tool though, so that you could see the result while adjusting it

Yeah, because in a lot of the music we love, there are notes that are out of scale. I was thinking about this as well and how to account for MIDI files that are like this.
