Discrepancies (Quantize)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Data can be copied in the following three ways:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can correct for timing discrepancies in a recorded

and the copied data is written in its place.

 

As an example, let’s say that the timing of some quarter-

 

 

 

notes in a performance is a little off. In this case, you can

Copying Rhythm Patterns to

Create Rhythm Parts

 

 

 

 

At Step 3 of “Selecting the editing function” (p. 135), select

The KR features numerous internal rhythm patterns. You can

<Quantize>.

 

 

 

copy these rhythm patterns to create a rhythm part.

 

 

 

A screen like the one shown below appears.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For more information about the name of Rhythm Patterns, please refer to “Rhythm Pattern List” (p. 199).

At Step 3 of “Selecting the editing function” (p. 135), select

 

 

 

 

 

 

<Copy>.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For more about ordinary copying, please refer to “Copying

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measures (Copy)” (p. 136).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Select “Rhythm Pattern” as the <Src>.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This makes the setting for copying a built-in Rhythm Pattern.
