Scale quantizer

Operation

The "Scale Quantizer" allows real-time adjustment of notes to a specific musical scale. It operates at the project level (global), meaning it affects all instruments simultaneously. It is possible to transpose all voices globally or to transpose each of Antigone’s 6 voices individually. This makes it easy to create chords within a given scale.
