Using Quantize while you record

The Quantize function corrects the timing of your
performance while you record.

the resolution (timing precision).
"Quantize" cell
"High": Data will be recorded at the maxi-
mum resolution (a quarter note is divided into
96 parts), and the timing will not be quan-
tized.
" "–" ": The timing will be corrected to the
specified note value. When " " is selected,
the timing will be corrected to the nearest 32th
note triplet. When " " is selected, the timing
will be corrected to the nearest quarter note
unit.
With a setting of
If you use a rough quantization such as or
when recording damper pedal or other control
data, the result may sound unnatural when
played back. To avoid this, record with a
quantize setting of "High," and then use the
"Rec 3/3" page "Quantize" function to correct
the timing of only the note data. ( p.57)
