Quantize Swing Parameter, Other enhancements, Utility menu

Quantize - Swing Parameter

System version 2.0 adds a “Swing” parameter to the dialog box for the “Quantize” utility menu command (☞PG p.101) of the SEQ 5.2-1: Track Edit page.

Quantize

Swing

[-300%…+300%]

Adds a sense of swing to the rhythm. For example, this can be used to add a slight shuffle feel to a “square” 16-beat.

With a setting of other than 0%, the position of notes that are at even-numbered beats (relative to the “Resolution” you specify) will be adjusted to add a sense of swing to the rhythm. With a setting of +100%, these notes will be moved 1/3rd of the way toward the next beat of the “Resolution” you specified. With a setting of +300%, the notes at even- numbered beats will be moved all the way to the location of the next odd-numbered beat.

Improvements

The following operations have been improved in Sequencer mode.

•The performance data that has already been recorded will be preserved even if the remaining amount of sequencer memory reaches zero during recording.

•When MIDI data from a KARMA module passes through multiple tracks of the same MIDI channel whose “Status” is set to BTH and is output via MIDI, the duplicate events will not be output (only one stream of events will be output).

•The “Multi REC” On (checked) setting is no longer reset to off when you temporarily move to another mode.
