Song Mode and Sequencing

which moves notes to all the way to the nearest interval (as specified by the value of the Grid
parameter). this doesn't change the duration of the notes.
See Track Functions: Quantize on page 3-47 to learn about quantizing tracks after you've recorded
them.

Grid

This parameter works together with the Quant parameter to control input quantizing (see Quant
(Input Quantizing) above). The Grid parameter sets the maximum "distance" (in terms of time)
that a note can get moved, while the Quant parameter determines how much of that distance the
notes actually move.
The value of the Grid parameter determines the number of divisions—called grid points—
within each beat. It's expressed as a fraction (1/1, 1/2, 1/3, etc.), including triplet values (instead
of 1/12, for example, you'll see 1/8tr).
While you're recording, if the notes you play don't fall exactly on the grid points, the sequencer
automatically moves them closer. The value of the Quant parameter determines just how far the
notes get moved.
You can set any value between 1/1 (quantizing to whole notes) and 1/384 (probably
imperceptible, except at extremely slow tempos). you can press the Increment/Decrement (+/-)
buttons simultaneously to jump to standard quantizing intervals (1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc.).

Swing

This parameter controls the amount of swing (syncopation) that the sequencer adds during
recording. The value of Swing is expressed as a percentage. When you apply swing, the
sequencer moves every other grid point—either toward the next grid point (when the value of
Swing is positive) or toward the previous grid point (when the value is negative).
A value of 100% (maximum swing) moves every other grid point
next grid point. Smaller values move the grid points a smaller distance. A value of 0 is straight
time—no swing. A value of –100% moves every other grid point
previous grid point).

Sync

The Sync parameter works with the Clock parameter. Sync controls transmission and reception
of the following MIDI sync messages: Song Start, Song Stop, Song Continue, Song Select, and
Song Position Pointer (everything but actual clock messages).
Use this parameter to disable MIDI sync (a value of Off), to receive, to transmit, or to receive and
transmit.

Clock

Use the Clock parameter to determine the sequencer's source of MIDI clock data—either Int (the
K2000's own clock) or Ext (received from an external source via the K2000's MIDI In port).
When Clock is Ext, playback and recording begin only when the sequencer receives MIDI clock
data from an external source.
