Correcting The Timing Of Performance Data (Quantize) - Roland MV-8000 Owner's Manual

Correcting the timing of performance data
(Quantize)
The chapter Creating a song (Song Recording) (p. 76) explained how you can use
Input Quantize to correct the timing during realtime-recording. The MV-8000 also lets
you quantize previously-recorded data.
1.
Specify the editing region as described in Using the PIANO ROLL EDIT
screen to edit a MIDI track (p. 90) or Using the SEQUENCE EDIT screen
to edit (p. 91).
This specifies the region of sequence data that will be quantized.
2. Access the SELECT SEQUENCE EDIT COMMAND popup (p. 225), and
choose "Quantize..."
The QUANTIZE popup (p. 229) will appear.
3. Set the parameters.
These settings determine how quantization will be applied to the selected region.
• Quantize Type
Setting
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 pre-
cise timing.
Grid
The timing of backbeats will be adjusted forward or backward, pro-
ducing a "shuffle" or "swing" feel.
Shuffle
50%
75%
You can choose quantization settings from a variety of templates. The
MV-8000 provides 71 templates for use with rhythms of a variety of
Template
musical styles. For details on the contents of the templates, refer to
Quantization Templates (p. 229).

Editing a song
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. To avoid
this problem, data other than
note-on messages should be
recorded afterward, with the
Rec Mode set to Overdub (p.
78).
For details on other
quantize-related
parameters and their
values, refer to the
QUANTIZE popup (p. 229)
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.
