MIDI Keys bypassing MIDI Strip Inserts? [Quantize no work]

[rp88.2]

I am having a problem with getting the Quantize insert on a MIDI track working with MIDI Keys (internal DP MIDI keyboard).

It seems that MIDI Keys is bypassing the inserts during recording.
[I am using MIDI Keys, so I don't need to carry a controller; obviously, I could 'paint' them in; but I would like to be able to record with Quantize for more complex patterns]

Here is my simple setup:
1) Add an instrument track w/options to use NI Battery.
2) On the Mixing Board add 'Quantize' to the Insert strip.
Set Quantize for attack, release and 1/16th - basically a strict 1/16 note Quantize.
3) Record enable the 'Drum' track
4) Record the bass/kick, snare, HH, etc. using MIDI Keys

When I view the events in the Event list, they are not strictly quantized. Instead of seeing something like: 1:1:000, 1:2:000 for the kick, I will see 1:1:046, 1:2:098, etc.

If I select the region and go Region->Quantize (1/16, Attack and Release), then everything looks right.

Thoughts on why the Quantize insert is not impacting the recording? MIDI routing issue? Insert strip setup?

Thank in advance!

MIDI effects processing is non-destructive and only affects playback, not input. I think "Input Quantize" (Studio Menu) is what you want.

Thank you cuttime! Input Quantize is what I was looking for.

I reread the section(s) on Quantize, Quantize effects and Input Quantize and did some more experimentation-- those are the differences, the MIDI effect is non-destructive; Input Quantize worked the way I needed it to.

Thank you again!

Good deal! I had to read them again, too. It took me a while to rap my head around it all. The inserts DON'T affect the recorded MIDI track. (note to self).
