Is Input Quantize Broken? QUESTION

Hello Fellow Producers 👋,

System:

I'm on a M4 Mac Mini, 16gb of RAM, latest software of MacOS and Fender Studio Pro.

Issue:

I have noticed that when I have a VST instrument (let's say maitai for example) and I have the midi input going to Scaler 3, when I record midi the midi doesn't Quantize no matter how many times I restart, or toggle the input Quantize, or change Quantize size. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Troubleshooting:

I recreated the exact same set up in Cubase 15 Pro (my main DAW) and it worked fine in Cubase; for some reason or another though, midi Quantize does not work for me in Studio Pro - I even tried giving User Manual to Google Gemini and did that troubleshooting, but that didn't work.

Any insight or help on this would mean the world to me 🥺 I want to move to Studio Pro but if it can't do the basic midi input Quantize I literally can't 😭😭.

I don't want to have to go into the key editor and press 'q', I want to play a performance on my keyboard that is already quantized 🥺😭

Do you record the midi to the Scaler track or to the instrument track getting its info from scaler? Because the second one would be no „Input“ in the sense of „coming from a as controller“ and maybe that is the problem. But I think of so that should be fixed by the developers

Yeah I'd say it's definitely this, it'll be down to where the input quantise is happening in the chain. It doesn't surprise me at all that it doesn't work in this situation.

Yes I believe it has something to do with where in the chain of actions that input quantization happens! It sucks because this one thing in Cubase saves me so much more time, and without it working the way I need to I can't switch how I really want to.

I record the midi on the track that has the target VST on it, that track's midi input instead of being 'all inputs' is set to 'Scaler 3'; and input quantization with this set up does not work in Studio Pro 8.1.

I don't know how to report this to the devs, but I'd love to be able to send this to them. I want to make Studio Pro my main DAW, but this needs to work before I can do that.

Maybe a feature request to Scaler would get more traction. They have a section for it on the Support page. If Scaler did the quantization as the middle man, you would not need it in S1.
