Pattern editing

Data Thin

Since data such as pitch bend or control change varies the value continuously, it can occupy an unexpectedly large amount of memory. The Data Thin operation thins out such data to reduce the amount of memory it occupies without audibly affecting the resulting playback. This lets you use the internal memory more efficiently.

Parameter	Range	Explanation
Value	0–99	Amount by which data is
		to be thinned
Thin Event	ALL, CC, BEND,	Type of data to be thinned
	PAFT, CAFT

Edit Quantize

This operation corrects the timing of performance data recorded in the pattern, according to the timing criteria you specify. Conventional quantization adjusts only the timing of the notes in the pattern as they are played back, without affecting the actual content of the data. However, the Edit Quantize operation lets you quantize the actual data itself.

Parameter	Range	Explanation
QTZ Type	GRID,	Type of quantization
	SHUFFLE,
	GROOVE
When Type is	“GRID”
QTZ	1/32, 1/24,	Note value toward which notes
Template	1/16, 1/12,	are to be moved
	1/8, 1/6,
	1/4
QTZ Timing	0–100	Strength of quantization
		Higher settings of this parame-
		ter will cause the note timings
		to be moved closer toward
		their exact value.
When Type is	“SHUFFLE”
QTZ	1/16, 1/8	Note value toward which notes
Template		are to be moved
QTZ Timing	0–100	Amount of “shuffle” for back-
		beats
		A setting of “50” will produce a
		“straight” rhythm with no
		shuffle. Settings in a range of
		60–66 will usually produce a
		pleasant shuffle feel.
When Type is	“GROOVE”
QTZ	Refer to	Template to use
Template	“Groove
	Template
	List” (p. 46)
QTZ Timing	0–100	Strength of timing adjustment
		Higher settings of this parame-
		ter will cause the note timings
		to be moved closer toward the
		timings of the template.
QTZ	0–100	Strength of velocity adjustment
Velocity		Higher settings of this parame-
		ter will cause the velocities to
		be adjusted closer toward the
		velocities of the template.
