If you quantize a track containing 16th notes to 1/8 (8th notes), for example, some of the 16th notes will be aligned with 8th note beats, thus ruining the track. s ERASE Erases all note and event (pitch bend, volume changes, etc. ) data from the specified measure or range of measures in the specified track (accompaniment track not available), leaving blank measures.
