Parameter Value Explanation
QTZ (Quantize) OFF, 8, 12,
16, 24
The Quantize function automatically corrects inaccuracies in the timing at which you play the pads during
recording. If you’ve enabled Quantize, your hits will be recorded at precise intervals of 8th notes, 12th note
triplets, 16th notes, or 24th note triplets. Quantize works only during recording.
Tempo 40–260
This is the tempo of the phrase. If the OCTAPAD’s tempo is synchronized to an external clock (see “MIDI Sync”
(p. 65)), you can also synchronize beyond the specied tempo. Instead of the tempo value, the tempo eld will
indicate the external clock source (“MIDI” or “USB”).
