When

will
be

If
the
new
length
is
longer than the previous one, the
additional
length
will
be
filled
with silence.
If it
is
desired
to
remove
or
add
length to the
beginning
of
a

will

at
the

of
the

and any

removed
will
be removed
from
the pattern
top.
Drum
events
that
were
stored
in
the

will
be
removed
from the
pattern.
The
LENGTH
button
has no
effect
in
song mode,
or while
a song

QUANTIZE
The
QUANTIZE
button
is
used
to select the resolution
at
which drum
events are
to
be
recorded.
While
holding
down
the
QUANTIZE
button
in
pattern
mode,
the display
will
read:
QUANTIZE RECORD
TO

The
10 quantize choices
are
1/4, 1/6, 1/8,
1/12, 1/16, 1/24, 1/32, 1/48, 1/64,
and OFF.
The
+/-
arrow
buttons
of
the
keypad can be used
to scroll
through
the choices.
The
keypad
buttons 0-9 can
also
be used
to
select the quantize value
directly,
with
0=1/4 and
9=OFF.
Quantize
will
only
affect
newly recorded events,
and
will
not
change any
events already
recorded.
Whenever
a
new
quantize value
is
selected, the
swing amount
will
be
reset
to
50%.
Also,
the quantize value determines
the step
amount
to
be used
when
in
pattern

If
quantize
is
set
to
OFF,
the steps
will
be

button
causes
