Clip launch quantization in AbletonOSC maps integer codes to musical durations, from None to 1/32

The /live/clip/get/launch_quantization and /live/clip/set/launch_quantization addresses accept an integer code: 0=Global, 1=None, 2=8Bars, 3=4Bars, 4=2Bars, 5=1Bar, 6=1/2, 7=1/2T (triplet), 8=1/4, 9=1/4T, 10=1/8, 11=1/8T, 12=1/16, 13=1/16T, 14=1/32. Setting this via OSC enables programmatic changes to when a clip snaps to the grid when launched — an AV script could tighten quantization to 1/8 during a breakdown or loosen it to 4 bars for a smooth section-level transition. The ‘Global’ setting (0) defers to the session-level clip trigger quantization.

Examples

Set clip 0 on track 0 to launch on the next bar: /live/clip/set/launch_quantization 0 0 5 (code 5 = 1Bar). Set to immediate: /live/clip/set/launch_quantization 0 0 1 (code 1 = None). Read current: /live/clip/get/launch_quantization 0 0 → returns (0, 0, quantization_code).

Assessment

Which integer code corresponds to 1/8T (triplet) quantization? A performer wants clips to fire immediately without waiting for a musical boundary. What code do they set?
