Track mix down
Press the below " > Mix".
Function
Mix down (combine) the data of two tracks into one
track.
Settings
1 - 8 (select track)
Explanation
This will mix the data of two different tracks and put
it in a single track. For example, if you had recorded
a piano part by playing each hand separately into
different tracks, you could use this function to com-
bine the two tracks into a single track.
The first two "Tr" numbers are the source tracks.
The third "Tr" is the destination track. After speci-
fying the three tracks, press the
Press in response to the confirming message,
and track mix down will be executed.
Note:
Once you have mixed down two tracks, you will no
longer be able to play them with separate voices.
Also, the previous data will be erased.

Quantize

below "Qntz".
Function
Correct each note to the nearest specified timing.
Settings
l – 8 (select track), 1/48, 1/32, 1/16, l/12, l/8, l/6,
l/4 (size)
Explanation
Quantization will move the start timing of each note
to the nearest interval of the specified value.
The following diagram is an example of a track
recorded in realtime, and played with inaccurate
timing.
The notes on the second and third beat are slightly
out of time. Quantize can be used to correct such
notes. If we set "Size" to "l/4" and execute this
quantize function, the notes will be moved to the
nearest beat of "l/4", as follows.
"Size" is the smallest time value that will be allowed
to remain after this operation is executed. This means
that if you intended your music to contain 16th notes,
you should specify 1/16. If you quantized using 1/8,
some of the 16th notes might be moved to the nearest
8th note. (The length of the notes will remain un-
changed.)
After specifying the track and size, press the
below " > GO". Press
confirming message, and quantize will be executed.
Note:
It is not possible to reverse the effects of quantization.
If your music contains triplets, use a quantization
value such as 1/6, 1/12, or 1/24.
