Yamaha RX21 IMPORTANT:, Beat Exchange (Example: on pattern 00)

IMPORTANT:

If you switch from a higher quantize rate to a lower one, only the notes occuring on the new beats will remain-all other notes will be cleared. For example, if you have programmed a part at a quantize rate of 1/32, the Beat Exchange function will switch the quantize rate to 1/16, and all notes which originally appeared on beats 2, 4, 6, 8 etc. will be erased. This will affect all instruments simultaneously.

Let’s look at what happens to a 2/4 time hi-hat pattern, programmed at 1/32 quantize rate, when we perform the Beat Exchange function.

QUANTIZE AT 1/32

BEAT EXCHANGE TO 1/16

All the notes originally occurring on even-numbered beats have gone-permanently. It is safer, then, to use the Beat Exchange function for switching from a lower quantize rate to a higher one, so that you can add rhythmic subtleties rather than remove them.
