Entering Percussion Sounds To A Rhythm Pattern; Editing With Step Write - Yamaha Electone EL-37 Owner's Manual

Entering Percussion Sounds to a Rhythm Pattern

Percussion sounds can be entered by either Step Write or Real Time Write from the EDIT page. Select the EDIT
page with the Page buttons. The Step Write version of the EDIT page is automatically called up if the rhythm
pattern is stopped, and Real Time Write is called up if the pattern is running.
Quantize
Quantize determines the resolution for entering percussion sounds to a pattern. Since Step Write
operations involve advancing in "steps" along regularly spaced points in a measure, Quantize lets you set
how many points there will be in the measure, In Step Write, since you can only enter notes to those
points, the more points there are in a measure, the more leeway you have in entering notes.
Quantize functions in generally the same way in Real Time Write operation in that it determines the
resolution of the pattern. Used with Real Time Write, however, it allows you to automatically "correct" the
timing of the notes as you play them, according to the specified Quantize resolution. Use the QUANTIZE
buttons on the panel (shown below) to set the Quantize value.

Quantize values are shown above the buttons as note values and represent fractions of a measure; thus,
the eighth note ( ) means that there will be eight points or divisions in the measure.
