entered
in
the
real
time record
mode, and
some
of the
notes
are a
little
off-time—
i.e.
the notes
do
not
fall
precisely
on
1
/8th
measure increments—
the phrase
can be
quantized
to
1/8 causing
all
the notes to
fall
into perfect time.
The
QUANTIZE
job can be used only
on
data
which
is
on
TRACK
1
.
First,
call
job
D-1
by
holding the
RESET
button
and
pressing the
JOB/STEP
SIZE
B/D
selector
once.
The
LED
display
will
alternately
read
\%\
indicating that
the
QUANTIZE
job
is
active,
and
the
currently selected value.
Use
the
-1
and
+1
buttons
to
select
the desired
value.
Pressing the
START
button then
actually
executes the
QUANTIZE
job, or
RESET
to cancel.
The
quantized data
is
left
on
TRACK
1
.
To
give
you
a
second chance
just
in
case quantizing
ruins
your
recording,
the data
is
stored
in
the
QX7's
temporary
buffer
memory
prior
to quantizing.
The
data
in
the
temporary
buffer
can be
recalled to
TRACK
1
using the
SAVE
TEMPORARY
BUFFER
job
(job
D-2) described below.
NOTE:.
The
selected quantize value
must
be
equal
to or
smaller
than the
smallest
note
length
contained
in
the data
to
be
quantized,
otherwise
random
omission
of
notes
or
changes
in
note
length
may
occur
(thus the
temporary
buffer
save
operation!).

(Job
D-3)
As
we
discovered
in
the
Quantize
section,
above, the
QX7
has
a
temporary
buffer
memory.
Executing
this
job
swaps
the contents
of
TRACK
1
and
the
temporary
buffer, recalling
the
temporary
buffer
data
into
TRACK
1,
and
saving the
TRACK
1
data
in
the
temporary
buffer.
In
addition to
allowing
you
to
recall
the
original
data
after
a
quantize
operation,
the temporary
buffer
is
also useful
in
a
number
of
editing situations.
Suppose,
for
example,
that
you have
a
phrase
which
will
occur
more
than
once
during the course
of a
composition. This phrase
can be
created
and saved
in
the
temporary
buffer
using the
SAVE
TEMPORARY
BUFFER
job.
It
can then be
recalled
and
chained onto
or inserted into
the data
on
TRACK
2
as
needed.
Call
job
D-2 by
holding the
RESET
button
and
pressing the
JOB/STEP
SIZE
B/D
selector twice.
The
LED
display
will
read
{^\ and
the
TRACK
1
indicator
will flash.
Pressing the
START
button then
actually
executes the
SAVE TEMPO-
RARY BUFFER
job, or
RESET
to cancel.
This job incorporates the cassette
save,
verify
and
load functions
which
permit
you
to
save your
QX7
compositions
on
standard
cassette
tape
and
load
them whenever
they
are
needed.
To
use the
cassette
interface,
make
sure
that
the
cassette cable
!
is
properly
connected
to
the
QX7's
CASSETTE
DIN
connector
and
the cassette
recorder's
earphone and microphone connectors
(see
page
4).
To
perform
any
cassette operation,
it
is
first
necessary
to
call
the
CASSETTE TAPE
job.
Call
job
D-3
by
holding the
RESET
button
and
pressing the
JOB/STEP
SIZE
B/D
selector
3
times.
The
LED
display
will
read
\tP]
indicating that the
CASSETTE
TAPE
job
is
active.
Any
of the three available cassette
functions—
LOAD, VERIFY
and
SAVE—
are
then
activated
by
pressing
the
corresponding
button;
RECORD/LOAD, STOP/CONTINUE/VERIFY
or
START/SAVE.
The
three
functions
will
be covered
separately
below.
SAVE
This function saves the contents
of
the
QX7 memory
to cassette tape.
First cat!
the
CASSETTE TAPE
job,
start
the cassette recorder
running
in
the record
mode,
then press
the
SAVE
button.
The
LED
display
will
read
[£3
indicating that
the
SAVE
operation
is
being performed.
When
the data
has
been saved
the
QX7
will
automatically
revert to
