What Does PPQN Stand For?

PPQN stands for Pulses Per Quarter Note Ditto

PPQN, or Pulses Per Quarter Note Ditto, is a measurement used in music sequencing and digital audio workstations to define the resolution of timing and rhythmic subdivisions within a composition. It indicates the number of discrete time units or pulses that align with one quarter note, facilitating precise synchronization and playback of musical events. By setting an appropriate PPQN value, composers and producers can achieve accurate timing and expressive performances in their digital music productions.
