Chord Quantize (RT) [0, 1]
0: Off 1: On
Causes one of two different types of behavior, depending on
the setting of the "Key Mode (RT)" parameter above.
When "Key Mode (RT)" is 0: Down
When a chord is played on the keyboard, there is a certain
amount of "slop" associated with hitting the keys: the
fingers arrive at slightly different times, there is a built in
amount of MIDI timing inaccuracy, etc. When using
Melodic Repeat to repeat the chord a number of times, you
will hear the same slop it was received with repeated
exactly. This corresponds to the "Chord Quantize (RT)"
setting of 0: Off. This may or may not be desirable;
sometimes you may want it, other times you may not. When
"Chord Quantize (RT)" is set to 1: On, the notes in the first
repeat of the chord will be hard quantized so that they
generate simultaneously. All subsequent repeats will be
based on those quantized notes, and therefore will also be
quantized.
When "Key Mode (RT)" is 1: Up
The repeats will be triggered when the key(s) are released,
so they will be quantized together at that point to occur
simultaneously anyway, with no "slop." But depending
where you released them overall in time, they may be "out
of sync" with the rhythm or groove that may be being
generated. This corresponds to the "Chord Quantize (RT)"
setting of 0: Off. When "Chord Quantize (RT)" is set to 1:
On, the release (and generation of the first repeats) will be
quantized to correspond to the nearest rhythmic division of
note generation. This will either be a 16th note, or the
rhythm value chosen in the "Rhythm Value" parameter,
whichever is longer.
