QUANTIZE
...........................................................................................................................................................................................
The QUANTIZE function aligns recorded notes in a speci-
fied track to the specified beats to "tighten up" the timing of a
performance.
Use the TRACK LCD dials to select the track to be quan-
tized, and the SIZE LCD dials to select the beats to which the
notes will be aligned. Only tracks which contain data will be
available for quantization.
The STRENGTH dials determine how "strongly" the notes
will be quantized. If a value less than "100%" is selected, notes
will be moved toward the specified quantization beats only by
the specified amount.
Press the EXECUTE button to quantize the data. "Execut-
ing" will appear on the display while the data is being quan-
tized. After quantization the EXECUTE button changes to an
UNDO button which can be used to undo the quantize operation
if the results are not satisfactory (the "UNDO" button will only
remain active until the next operation is performed).
