  Parameters

  • type: TimeBaseClass<any, any>

    Any time type units

  Returns this

quantize

• quantize(subdiv, percent?): number

• Quantize the time by the given subdivision. Optionally add a percentage which will move the time value towards the ideal quantized value by that percentage.

  Parameters

    The subdivision to quantize to
  • percent: number = 1

    Move the time value towards the quantized value by a percentage.

  Returns number

  Example

  Tone.Time(21).quantize(2); // returns 22
  Tone.Time(0.6).quantize("4n", 0.5); // returns 0.55
