Quantize

The QUANTIZE function can correct the timing of your performance after it has been recorded. If the rhythm is slightly out of sync or inexact, it will automatically be corrected to the specified quantize level.

1.On the SEQ MENU display, select RECORD & EDIT.

2.On the RECORD & EDIT display, select

QUANTIZE.

The display looks similar to the following.

Rhythm as written in the score

Timing of actual performance

Quantized performance

3.Use the TRACK and buttons to specify the track number.

You cannot select the track for the CONTROL, RHYTHM or CHORD part.

If ALL is selected, all the tracks are quantized.

4.Use the FIRST MEASURE and buttons to specify the start point (measure number).

5.Use the LAST MEASURE and buttons to specify the end point (measure number).

6.Use the VALUE and buttons to specify the quantize level.

Select from , , 3, , 3, , 3. (A 3 denotes a triplet-type note.)

7.Use the STRENGTH and buttons to select the amount of quantize (%).

100% is a convenient setting. When set to 100%, the performance data is quantized ex- actly to the level specified for the VALUE (“just”). For example, at 50%, the data is quan- tized to a point that is half that of the just level. By this setting, you can attain an effect that is very slightly off-beat from the rhythm.

8.Use the WINDOW and buttons to specify the range (%) affected by the quantize setting.

With the increment set to 100 for the VALUE, at a + setting, data close to the just point is corrected, and at a – setting, data far from the just point is corrected. For example, if set to

– 30% the quantize function affects data far from the just point, and if set to +30% the quantize function affects data close to the just point. +100% is usually a convenient setting.

The +100% setting and the – 100% setting are the same.

Example: When VALUE is set to
