CHAPTER 4: Recording

Quantize Function

This function is used to compensate for slight inaccuracies in the playing data (the length of a note and the timing of the key stroke). A measure is equally divided into a certain number of sections (4, 6, 8, 12, and 16 sections) and the key strokes are fit exactly into the sections. In the Disklavier, each section indicates a quarter note.
