Quantization is the property of being constrained to a set of discrete values, rather than varying continuously.
- In signal processing, Quantization refers to the process of approximating a continuous signal by a set of discrete symbols or integer values.
- In physics, quantization refers to the formulation of a classical theory in the formalism of quantum physics.
- In music software, quantization is the altering of the times and durations of notes so they fit the beat or subbeat perfectly.
