Roland CDX-1 Correcting timing inaccuracies while you record Quantize

Arranging audio samples to create a song—Sequence
Correcting timing inaccuracies while you record
—Quantize
Pad operations are recorded on the track with a timing precision of 1/96th of a beat.
This means that it is rather difficult to record pad operations exactly at precise
measure beginnings, quarter notes, or eighth notes when you are using realtime
recording. This is why the CDX-1 provides a Quantize function that can correct the
timing of your pad operations while you record.
1. In step 7 of “Realtime recording” (p. 90), change the “Quantize” setting.
Sets the timing resolution in terms of notes. The timing at which the sound begins
will be adjusted to the beginning of measures or beats.
“MEAS”: Beginning of the measure
“”: 192 tick intervals
“”: 96 tick intervals
“”: 64 tick intervals
“”: 48 tick intervals
“”: 32 tick intervals
“”: 24 tick intervals
“”: 16 tick intervals
“OFF”: The timing at which you press a pad will not be adjusted.
* When you use the Quantize function, pad operations on the same sequence track may overlap. If
this occurs, only the last pad operation will be valid, and only that phrase will be recorded.
Quantize is not applied to the
timing at which you release a
pad.
About remaining recordable events of Sequence
Remaining recordable events * of sequence is displayed as “REMAIN XX%” on
REALTIME REC screen and STEP REC screen. XX% shows remaining number of
events in percent.
