Quantize

[FUNCTION MENU] button[User Style Composer] field[Edit] field[Quantize]

The Quantize function can be used after recording a part if you don’t feel comfortable with the timing of what you played. If only certain notes in a given time range need to be quantized, you should narrow down the edit range using the From/To parameters.

Track, Mode, Type, Division— See page 178 for

details.

From, To, Bar, Beat, CPT— See page 178 for details.

Value— This parameter sets the resolution of the Quantize function. The available values are: 1/8, 1/8t, 1/16, 1/16t, 1/32, 1/32t, 1/64t. See also page 142 for an example.

Execute— Press this field to confirm your settings and edit the data.

Note: Be sure to always select the value that equals the shortest note you recorded. Otherwise, your part no longer sounds the way you played it.

Gate T

[FUNCTION MENU] button[User Style Composer] field[Edit] field[Gate T]

The Gate Time function allows you to modify the duration of the notes in the selected time (From/To) range. See page 151 for details.

Track, Mode, Type, Division— See page 178 for

details.

From, To, Bar, Beat, CPT— See page 178 for details.

Value (–1920~+1920)—This parameter sets the amount by which the duration (or gate time) of the selected notes is to be changed. The shortest possible Gate Time value is “1”. Allowing the value “0” would

effectively erase the notes, which can only be achieved with Erase (see page 178). You cannot use Gate Time to erase notes.

Execute— Press this field to confirm your settings and edit the data.

Shift

[FUNCTION MENU] button[User Style Composer] field[Edit] field[Shift]

Shift allows you to shift the the notes within the selected From/To range. See page 151 for details.

Note: Before selecting a Shift value, you should have a look at one track in the Microscope mode (see page 181) to deter- mine which negative value to use. If the first note of a track starts on 1-1-6, for example, set Shift to “–6”. Be sure to apply the same Shift to all tracks to maintain the timing of the original!

Track, Mode, Type, Division— See page 178 for details.

From, To, Bar, Beat, CPT— See page 178 for details.

Value (–1920~+1920)— This parameter sets the amount by which the notes are shifted. The Value refers to CPT units (one CPT= 1/120 ).

Note: Notes on the first beat of the first bar cannot be shifted further to the left (that would mean shifting them to the “0” measure, which doesn’t exist).

Execute— Press this field to confirm your settings and edit the data.
