SCORE

Quantize

Quantize

1 (1/4 note),

Depending on the song data, you can make the

 

 

 

2 (1/4 note triplet),

score more readable by adjusting the timing of the

 

 

 

3 (1/8 note),

notes. This determines the minimum timing resolu-

 

 

 

4 (1/8 note triplet),

tion used in the song. For example, if there are both

 

 

 

5 (1/16 note),

quarter notes and eighth notes in the song, you

 

 

 

6 (1/16 note triplet),

should set this value to “eighth note.” Any notes or

 

 

 

7 (1/32 note),

rests shorter than this value will not be shown in the

 

 

 

8 (1/32 note triplet)

score.

messages. All other messages and names are dis-

 

 

 

 

played in English. When this is set to Japanese, the

 

 

 

 

file names are displayed in the Japanese font. The

 

 

 

 

lyrics display follows the language setting originally

*All these settings can be conveniently reset to their initial default values by pressing the [+/YES] and [-/NO] buttons simultaneously. (The exception to this is Initial Send, which is an operation, not a setting.)
