Data Thin; Edit Quantize - Roland MC-909 Owner's Manual

Pattern editing

Data Thin

Since data such as pitch bend or control change varies the value
continuously, it can occupy an unexpectedly large amount of
memory. The Data Thin operation thins out such data to reduce the
amount of memory it occupies without audibly affecting the
resulting playback. This lets you use the internal memory more
efficiently.

Edit Quantize

This operation corrects the timing of performance data recorded in
the pattern, according to the timing criteria you specify.
Conventional quantization adjusts only the timing of the notes in the
pattern as they are played back, without affecting the actual content
of the data. However, the Edit Quantize operation lets you quantize
the actual data itself.

Explanation
Type of quantization
Note value toward which notes
are to be moved
Strength of quantization
Higher settings of this parame-
ter will cause the note timings
to be moved closer toward
their exact value.
Note value toward which notes
are to be moved
Amount of "shuffle" for back-
beats
A setting of "50" will produce a
"straight" rhythm with no
shuffle. Settings in a range of
60–66 will usually produce a
pleasant shuffle feel.
Template to use
Strength of timing adjustment
Higher settings of this parame-
ter will cause the note timings
to be moved closer toward the
timings of the template.
Strength of velocity adjustment
Higher settings of this parame-
ter will cause the velocities to
be adjusted closer toward the
velocities of the template.
