Press the [ENTER] button to carry out the operation for the current display.
After the operation is completed, the "Execute → [ENTER]" indication on the display changes to "Undo
→ [ENTER]," letting you restore the original data if you are not satisfied with the operation results. The
Undo function only has one level; only the previous operation can be undone.

Press the [8 ] (Save) button to carry out the Save operation.
For details, refer to "Basic Operations" in the Owner's Manual.
NOTICE
The edited Song data will be lost if you select another Song or turn off the power to the instrument without carrying out the Save opera-
tion.
Quantize
The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you
record the musical phrase shown below, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your
performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way
of correcting for this.

Channel Determines which MIDI channel in the Song data is to be quantized.
Size Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the
Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if eighth
notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as the Quantize
size.
Quarter-note length
Settings:
1/4 note
1/4 note
triplet
The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally conve-
nient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time.
For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth-note triplets are contained
in the same channel, if you quantize by the straight eighth notes, all notes in the
channel are quantized to straight eighth notes—completely eliminating any triplet
feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the
straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.
Strength Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% produces
exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved toward the
specified quantization beats according to the specified percentage. Applying less
than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the "human" feel in the record-
ing.
