Quantize

The QUANTIZE function can correct the timing of your performance after it has been recorded. If the
rhythm is slightly out of sync or inexact, it will automatically be corrected to the specified quantize level.

7.
Use the STRENGTH
the amount of quantize (%).
• 100% is a convenient setting. When set to 100%, the per-
formance data is quantized exactly to the level specified
for the VALUE ("just"). For example, at 50%, the data is
quantized to a point that is half that of the just level. By
this setting, you can attain an effect that is very slightly
off-beat from the rhythm.
∧
8.
Use the WINDOW and
the range (%) affected by the quantize setting.
• With the increment set to 100 for the VALUE, at a + set-
ting, data close to the just point is corrected, and at a –
setting, data far from the just point is corrected. For
example, if set to –30% the quantize function affects data
far from the just point, and if set to +30% the quantize
function affects data close to the just point. +100% is usu-
ally a convenient setting.
• The +100% setting and the –100% setting are the same.
Example: When VALUE is set to
100% 50%
