Hi Sebastian and welcome to the list, it's great to have you. As Phil said, you're probably best quantizing objects first, which is just basically a selected piece of data. Don't get mixed up between ranges and object selection, as even though they can overlap and do the same thing sometimes, they have different purposes.

Regarding selecting an object. The best way to think of it is like an accordian. When the timeline/zoom ratio is expanded, you can see objects that otherwise would be hidden, due to the fact they were too small.

For example:
If I have a 2 bar object (drums ), recorded between bars 2 and 4, I would only see that object if the timeline was not compressed. So, the timeline could read:
1, 7, 19, 27 etc etc etc and I would not see that object, as it is hidden between the contracted timeline, namely bars 1 - 7.
So, I would expand the timeline and zoom in to show bars 1, 2, 3, 4 etc...then the object would be visible.

Also, as Phil said, this is normal behaviour of samplitude for all users. Jaws can only report if an object is selected or not if it is visible, the same way it would be for a sighted person.

There are a few You Tube videos you may find useful...and more will be added in the coming months, but due to a lot of development of the scripts, there aren't as many as I would like. After the next release of the scripts, we will be in a much more stable and settled position, as we will be supporting Windows 10 and the scripts will only be Jaws script, HSC will be primarily for plugin support.. Best steve.

Hi Sébastien.  Welcome to the list.  Nice to see you posting here.  I think
you may be missing a step here.  Note: I haven't played much with range
selection but have managed to achieve what I wanted by splitting, selecting,
deleting objects etc and placing markers in at the start and end points then
selecting the range between the markers.  Before starting your range
selection you first need to select an object with control Alt left or
Control Alt Right Arrow.  Note: Jaws may struggle to see the object if it
isn't on screen.  This isn't a Jaws issue as such as sighted users also
encounter this.  If this happens then you may need to zoom in or out.  To
quickly zoom in use the Samplitude keystrokes Control+Alt+Shift+- or
Control+Alt+Shift+=.

Subject: [vipaudioaccess] Help with quantizing using samplitude

Hi all,

I'm a new comer to samplitude and I really hope you guys can help me.
First let me add that I love samplitude so much. Here's my issue. I
simply can't quantize midi. Here's what I do.
1. Insert a new midi track
2. Press f9 on that track and then insert addictive drums as a VST.
3. Follow the instructions to get all mono tracks and press ok.
4. Arm the track, record some drums
5. Use the right arrow to go just before I want it to quantize, use
shift+right arrow to select a few bars. I already have my arrow keys
setup so they move by bars.
6. Press control+windows+f11 to set the selection to the track.
7. Press control+q, and I get the same message no matter what I try:
"No object selected for quantizing"

I tried using control+windows+q to basically quantize while I play,
and that works well, however I also want to quantize by selecting, and
I haven't been able to accomplish that. Also, can someone explain me
the quantize menu (control+shift+q"? I'm used to sonar so it would be
nice if someone can explain it to me. Let me add though that there is
no way I will go back to sonar. Samplitude seems smoother for me to
use and a lot better, just my opinion. Anyway, hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance!
