Correcting The Timing Of Performance Data (Quantize) - Roland MV-8800 Owner's Manual

Correcting the timing of performance data (Quantize)

This command corrects (quantizes) the timing of the recorded performance data.
●
For details on all of the parameters and settings for Quantize, refer to "QUANTIZE popup" (Screen Guide; p. 38).
●
The Quantize command affects only the timing at which you struck the pads (i.e., the note-on data). It does not
modify the timing of any other type of performance data. This means that performance data such as Pitch Bend
or Modulation may no longer be aligned with the appropriate note data, producing unexpected results.
❍ Parameters to specify
• Quantize Type
Setting Explanation
Grid The note timing will be aligned to intervals of the beat you specify. Use this when you want to "tighten-up"
the drums or bass to the precise timing.
Shuffle The timing of backbeats will be adjusted forward or backward, producing a "shuffle" or "swing" feel.
Template You can choose quantization settings from a variety of templates. The MV-8800 provides 71 templates
for use with rhythms of a variety of musical styles. For details on the contents of the templates, refer to
"Templates" (Screen Guide; p. 12).
●
The templates are designed for a 4/4 time signature. They may not produce the desired results if applied to a
performance that uses a different time signature.
●
The names of the template styles are only for your guidance, and do not mean that a given template can be
used only for music of that style. Feel free to try various types of template.
• Resolution
Specifies the note value interval to which the timing will be quantized. Choose the shortest note value that
occurs in the region you are quantizing.
