Specifying the timing for RPS playback
(RPS TRIGGER QTZ)
When using RPS during pattern playback, patterns and
phrases may not play back in precise alignment, depending
on the timing at which you press the keyboard pad. On the
MC-307 you can specify the playback timing of the phrase, so
it will play back in precise synchronization with the pattern.
