Quantize and Miscellaneous Parameters

Control Chase

A common shortcoming of many sequencers is that when you start a sequence at some point
in the middle of sequence, the controllers remain at their current levels until the sequencer
comes across a controller event. Control Chase remedies this (generally) undesired behavior.
When Control Chase is On, all non-note MIDI events from the beginning of the song up
to the current time are computed, and the most recent non-note MIDI event is sent out
before starting playback. This ensures that the volume, panning, program changes, and other
controllers for the song are correct, regardless of where you start the song. With Control
Chase set to Off, the sequencer behaves as previously described.

Key Wait

With Key Wait set to on, a key strike will trigger playback of a sequence (if the play/pause
button is armed), or trigger recording of a sequence (if the record button is armed.)
Quantize
The Quantize parameter determines the amount of real-time quantization (if any) applied to
the sequence during recording. The percentage specified for this parameter is the amount of
quantization the sequencer applies to the grid (see below) for each Note event recorded.
Note that using real-time quantization has the same effect as recording normally, and then
using the Quantize Track Editing operation.
