What Does PPQ Stand For?
PPQ stands for Pulses Per Quarter Used In Music Programming Sequencers
PPQ, or Pulses Per Quarter, is a measurement used in music programming sequencers to denote the number of discrete timing pulses generated within one quarter note. This parameter is essential for quantifying the resolution of musical timing, directly affecting the precision of note placement and rhythmic accuracy in digital audio workstations and sequencers. A higher PPQ value allows for more detailed control over MIDI data, facilitating intricate compositions and performances.
