The "Val" (value) parameters for each track (the rotary controls) determine to what beats the note data in the corresponding track will be aligned. If you select “d”, for example, all notes in the track will be aligned to the nearest 16th-note beat, to a degree determined by the “strength” parameter. Hold the [SHIFT] key while setting a value parameter to change all value parameters by the same amount.

The “Str” (strength) parameter determines how “strongly” the notes are attracted to the specified quantize value. The strength range is from 0% to 100%. At a setting of “0%” no quantization will occur, while a setting of “100%” will cause all notes to be aligned precisely to the nearest specified beat value. In- between settings produce a corresponding shift in the position of all off-beat notes to the nearest specified beat value. With a value setting of “d” and a strength setting of 50%, for example, a note that does not fall precisely on an 8th-note beat will be shifted about halfway to nearest 8th-note beat.

The faders set the strength value for the corresponding tracks. Position the cursor at a fader, then use any data entry method to set the strength as required. The graphic fader will move to the corresponding position. The specified strength setting will appear in the upper right comer of the display. Hold the [SHIFT] key while setting a fader to change the settings of all faders by the same amount.
