that's right.

Although it will keep tracks that are sync recorded in time
with the master track as long as you don't use reverse or
mess with the track speed

if you do this by hitting "Play/Stop" (to create a new empty track)
then Q steps seem to come in the right place,
...er..i think...
I haven't destruct tested that theory yet.
(I'd always got to EDP for Quant Replace, 'cos it works well with Mult)

quite possible

hope to do more experiments tomorrow night.



Make sure your track for reference time is set as master
(if you didn't already)
