Part Quantize

The Quantize function allows you to “clean up” your recorded data, making sure that the part is
rhythmically accurate. Quantize aligns all notes in the part to the nearest specified beat — up to
1/32 note resolution.

To quantize the data of a part:

1. Select the desired quantize value with the appropriate Data Control

button.

Aligns to the nearest quarter note.
Aligns to the nearest quarter note triplet.
Aligns to the nearest 8th note.
Aligns to the nearest 8th note triplet.
Aligns to the nearest 16th note.
Aligns to the nearest 16th note triplet.
Aligns to the nearest 32nd note.
2. Select EXEC (Execute) to quantize the data of the

part.

At the prompt, select “OK” to actually quantize the data, or select
“Cancel” to abort the operation.
DATA CONTROL
Quantize can be used with
good results on all parts, but it’s
especially effective with the
Rhythm parts. You should use
Quantize judiciously, however
— the results are permanent
and (depending on how
accurate the actual recording
was) they may not be what you
expect.
