Aligning a Song’s Timing (Quantize)

In the chapter “Recording Songs” (p. 127), we explained Recording Quantize, which lets you quantize during realtime recording. Alternatively, it is also possible to quantize a song that has already been recorded.

The Fantom has a Preview function that allows playing back the results of a Quantize operation while you are still setting parameters (before actual execution). This helps to make optimal Quantize settings.

The Quantize operation will correct only the timing at which notes were pressed (note-on) and released (note-off), and will not correct any other sequencer data. This means that if you record MIDI messages such as bend range or modulation along with notes, quantization can cause the notes to go out of sync with the MIDI messages, skewing timing. To avoid such problems it is better to record non-keyboard data afterward, using mix recording, etc.

1.Access the Song Edit screen, and then load the song you want to edit (p. 136).

2.Press [8 (Track Edit)].

The Track Edit window appears.

3.Press or to select “Quantize,” and then press [8 (Select)].

A message of “QUANTIZE: Select target point.” appears.

4.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the first measure of the track or pattern that you want to quantize.

5.Hold down [SHIFT] and press to move the cursor to the last measure of the track or pattern that you want to

quantize, and press [8 (Select)] to specify it.

The Track Edit (Quantize) window appears.

6.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the desired parameter, and turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to make the setting. First check the region that is to be affected by the editing operation, and then make corrections if you want to change it.
