1 QUANTIZE
The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you
record the musical phrase shown below, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your
performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way
to correct for this.
[2]/ CHANNEL
[3]
[4] – SIZE
[6]
[7]/ STRENGTH
[8]
2 DELETE
You can delete the data of the specified channel in the Song. Select the channel whose data is to be deleted
by using the [1] – [8] buttons, then press the [D] (EXECUTE) button to execute the operation.
Determines which MIDI channel in the Song data is to be quantized.
Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should
set the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For exam-
ple, if eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use 1/8
note as the Quantize size.
Settings:
1/4 note 1/8 note
1/4 note 1/8 note
triplet triplet
The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally
convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at
the same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth
notes triplet are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the
straight eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight
eighth notes — completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you
use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and
triplet notes will be quantized correctly.
Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100%
produces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will
be moved toward the specified quantization beats according to the spec-
ified percentage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you pre-
serve some of the "human" feel in the recording.
