Finally, you can further improve the swing by adjusting the
gate times of the notes in every other interval.
1. Phrase setting: Phrs
Sets the phrase to which adjustment is applied.
Settings : 001 ... 256
2. Segment (M001:1:000 ~ M257: 1:000)
Sets the area of the phrase over which adjustment is
carried out. The first segment sets the measure, beat,
and clock for the start point; the second segment sets
the end point.
Settings : Measure: beat : clock
001:1:000 ... 999:8:479
3. Quantizing value
The Quantize value selects the quantizing interval. You
can set the value using the [NO - 1] or [YES + 1] but-
ton, or by pressing the appropriate note key on the nu-
meric keypad.
Notice that the settings create both "normal" and "tri-
plet" intervals over the same space. The
ple, sets quantizing lines at every eighth-note spacing
and at every eighth-note-triplet spacing.
Settings : 32nd-note intervals
16th-triplet intervals
16th-note intervals
8th-triplet intervals
8th-note intervals
Quarter-note-triplet intervals
Quarter-note intervals
16th-note and 16th-triplet intervals
8th-note and 8th-triplet intervals
4. Strength
The Strength value sets the degree by which note events
are pulled toward the nearest quantizing line.
A setting of 100% pulls each note event all the way to
the nearest quantizing line. A setting of 50% pulls each
note only halfway to the nearest quantizing line.

Settings : 000% ... 100%
5. Swing rate
This setting lets you apply a delay to the notes in every
even-numbered quantizing interval (but see below) to
produce a more swinging rhythm. This adjustment is car-
ried out after quantizing is completed: first the notes are
quantized, and then the swing delay (if any) is applied.
If you are using a 32nd, 16th, 8th, or quarter-note
quantizing value, the RM1x applies the delay to every
even-numbered interval. If you are using an 8th-note,
for exam-
for example, then the notes in the first 8th-note interval
are normal, the notes in the second 8th-note interval are
delayed, the notes in third interval are normal, and so
on.
If you are using one of the triplet quantizing values,
then the RM1x applies the delay to the notes in every
third interval. If you are using the
value, the RM1x applies the delay to the non-triplet part
of the rhythm only (to the
The "swing rate" is given as a scale value indicating
the position for the shifted "beat." For non-triplet
rhythms, a value of 50% leaves the position unchanged,
while higher values apply a delay. (In this case, 100%
represents double the length of the quantizing interval.)
The available settings depend on the rhythm type, as
described below.
Where quantizing value is
0%
For the quantizing values indicated above, a 50% set-
ting produces no adjustment, so that the even-numbered
interval remains exactly centered. Higher values shift
the interval to the right, to produce an added swing.
The maximum setting is 75%, which shifts the interval
by an amount equal to one-half the quantizing value.
