Alesis QS8.1, QS7.1 manual Quantize Mode Off or On

Part 8: Editing Programs

Quantize Mode (Off or On)

The Quantize Mode function is only available in modulation routings 4 through 6. When Quantize Mode is on, the modulation effect will be stepped. When off, the effect will be smooth, or linear. Example: If you were to route the Modulation Wheel to Pitch with an amplitude of +99, moving the Mod Wheel while the Quantize parameter was off would cause the pitch of a held note to slide up, much the same way it does when the Pitch Bend Wheel is used. However, moving the Mod Wheel while the Quantize parameter was on would cause the pitch of a held note to rise in half-step increments.
