Quantize

Quantize is a function that corrects timing inaccuracies while you record. Set the note value before you begin recording and everything you play will be quantized automatically.

The value should be set to the shortest note appearing in the phrase. When set to “OFF,” the pattern is recorded exactly as played.

*When using Tap Playback to play back a pattern you have created, first make sure that this is not set to “OFF,” then quantize. If set to “OFF,” then Tap Playback cannot be executed correctly.

Rec Mode

LOOP ALL:

The entire pattern will be repeated in loop mode and you can continually record (like overdubbing).

LOOP 1, LOOP 2:

Recording in a one or two measure loop mode.

REPLACE:

Recording will continue until you press [STOP]. Any previously recorded data for all Parts will be erased.
