    We used to have ability to quantize patterns via the software in 1.8!!

    Now i have to drag my MK2 everywhere on the go, just because this feature has been omitted. I mean crap, there's already no count-in, now this? I realize the goal is to use the controller, but unless you have a mikro, this makes maschine only useful for home/studio use, can't do anything on the go, traveling, etc..it's hard to bust out a laptop, a full maschine and a akai mini on a plane seat...

    Please please fix this. Adding software count-in would be extra appreciated as well.
    Love this product, i am a loyal customer of all NI software, please consider this!

    how are you inputting the notes when not using the hardware? most people are just drawing in the notes with a mouse so the need to quantize isn't really …well needed.

    unless you are using another device then i can see your point.

    there is a software count in with record prep. check page 256 and 262 of the manual. shift + grid button i think.

    try alt+Q on mac for quant.

    Count in recording by software is Ctrl + Shift + Space
    Quantize is Alt + Q
    Quantize 50% is Shift + Alt + Q

    Indeed. I was unaware the key command still worked. Assumed since it is no longer there in the right click menu that it did not work. Never use the key commands.

    HOLY CRAP!

    Glad to have made this post! i never knew you could use these commands, the MK2 manual on count-in section only referenced using shift on the controller...must be somewhere else in the documentation.

    Anyway, i am so grateful for this forum, I pretty much use manual for everything and somehow missed this, not to mention, the quantize used to be in a drop down menu.

    Either way,

    Thanks all for comments, i am a happy camper, this helps me alot, and my apologies...

    in the MK2 manual if you scroll all the way to the bottom/end of the man. then it shows all the keyboard shortcuts.. I think keyboard short cuts are new since 2.0 right? 1.8 didn't have any I thought.

    How are you entering notes without a controller, then?
