Groove Quantize

Groove Quantize
You can apply a realtime "groove-quantization" to Sequencer 1.
Groove-quantization is a way of changing the music groove dur-
ing the playback, moving notes to the nearest axis of a rhythmic
"grid". Please feel free to experiment: this function is a great
source of musical inspiration.
To enable groove quantize, you can either use the command in
this page, or check the Groove Quantize Enable command in the
page menu.
Note: Groove Quantize parameters are not saved, as they are only
intended for realtime use.
Enable
Enables/disables quantization. It is automatically set to Off each
time the instrument is turned on, or when selecting a different
Song.
Hint: You can enable/disable the Groove Quantize also by selecting
the "Seq.1-Groove Quantize Enable" command from the page
menu.
Note Start
Enables/disables quantization of the Note On event (i.e. begin-
ning of the note).
Note Duration
Enables/disables quantization of the Note Off event (i.e. the
length of the note).
Resolution
Coarse quantize grid resolution. This parameter is the main
quantization value, to be varied with the Acc, Swing and Win-
dow values.
(1/32)... (1/4)
Grid resolution, in musical values (a "3" after the
value means "triplet"). For example, when you
select 1/8, all notes are moved to the nearest 1/8
division. When you select 1/4, all notes are moved
to the nearest 1/4 division.
No quanti-
zation
1/8
1/4
Accuracy
Accuracy percentage of quantize. For example, if Acc=50, and
the note is 20 tics away from the coarse grid, it is moved to the
grid of only 10 tics.
0 No accuracy. The quantize is not executed.
100 Maximum accuracy. The note is moved exactly at
the grid position.
Swing
Asymmetry of quantization. Grid axis are moved to the nearest
grid axis.
0 Even-numbered axis are totally moved over the
previous odd-numbered axis.
50 Axis are perfectly equidistant.
100 Even-numbered axis are totally moved over the
following odd-numbered axis.
Swng=50
Swng=25
Swng=75
Window
Area of quantize intervention, bordering the grid axis.
0 The quantize window corresponds to the axis. No
quantization happens.
100 The quantize window extends to the nearest win-
dow; all events are quantized.
Win=0
Win=50
Win=100
