The Done Soft Button
If no changes were made in the RECFLT/PLYFLT page, pressing the Done soft button calls up
the MAIN page. If changes were made, pressing the Done soft button calls up the "Save
Changes" dialog.

Song Mode: The MISC Page

The MISC page contains five miscellaneous (but very important and useful) sequencer
parameters. The MISC page appears below:
Parameter
Control Chase
Quantize
Grid Resolution
Swing
Release Quantization
Key Wait
Control Chase
A common shortcoming of many older sequencers is that when you start a sequence at some
point in the middle of sequence, the controllers remain at their current levels until the sequencer
comes across a controller event. Control Chase remedies this (generally) undesired behavior.
When Control Chase is On, all non-note MIDI events from the beginning of the song up to the
current time are computed, and the most recent non-note MIDI event is sent out before starting
playback. This ensures that the volume, panning, program changes, and other controllers for the
song are correct, regardless of where you start the song. With Control Chase set to Off, the
sequencer behaves as previously described.
Quant
The Quantize parameter determines the amount of real-time quantization (if any) applied to the
sequence during recording. The percentage specified for this parameter is the amount of
quantization the sequencer applies to the grid (see below) for each Note event recorded.
Note that using real-time quantization has the same effect as recording normally, and then using
the Quantize Track Editing operation.
