●[F2]-01 Quantize

Quantization is the process of adjusting the timing of note events by moving them closer to the nearest exact beat. You can use this feature, for example, to improve the timing of a performance recorded in real time.

TrackRange

• Quantize Value (Resolution)

Determines to what beats the note data in the specified track will be aligned.

❏Settings

32nd note 16th note triplet 16th note 8th note triplet 8th note

1/4 note triplet 1/4 note

16th note + 16th note triplet 8th note + 8th note triplet

• Strength

The Strength value sets the “strength” by which note events are pulled toward the nearest quantize beats.

A setting of 100% produces exact timing. A setting of 0% results in no quantization.

• SwingRate

Delays notes on even-numbered beats (backbeats) to produce a swing feel.

For example, if the meter is 4/4 and the quantize value is quarter notes, the 2nd and 4th beats of the measure will be delayed.

When a triplet quantize value is used, the last note of each triplet is delayed.

When the quantize value is or , even-numbered

or beats will be delayed. ❏ Settings See below.

If the quantize value is , , , :50%~75%

A setting of 100% is equivalent to twice the length of the specified quantize value. A setting of 50% produces exact timing and therefore no swing feel. Settings above 51% increase the amount of swing, with 75% being equivalent to a dotted-note delay.

If the quantize value is

A setting of 100% is equivalent to three times the length of the specified quantize value. A setting of 66% produces exact timing and therefore no swing feel. Settings above 67% increase the amount of swing, with 83% being equivalent to a sextuplet delay.

A setting of 100% is equivalent to twice the length of a d or d note. A setting of 50% produces exact timing and therefore no swing feel. Settings above 51% increase the amount of swing, with 66% being equivalent to a triplet delay.

nIf a swing value other than 100% results in notes being positioned after other non-swing notes, the latter notes are delayed accordingly.

•GateTime

Determines the gate time (the length of time a note sounds) of the even-numbered backbeat notes to enhance the swing feel.

When a triplet quantize value is used, the gate time of the last note of each triplet is adjusted.

When the quantize value is or , the gate time of the even-numbered or beats will be adjusted.

A setting of 100% leaves the original gate time unchanged. If an adjusted gate time value is less than 1, the MOTIF sets the value to 1.
