Recording a Pattern
Applying Various Edits
(MODIFY)
The PATTERN UTILITY command MODIFY lets you specify
parameters for various operations. You can use it to apply various
edits such as applying quantization to a previously-recorded
pattern, or deleting only specific types of data.
Basic operation for Modify
1 .
On the PTN UTILITY screen, select the pattern that
you want to modify, and then touch <MODIFY>.
The MODIFY MENU appears.

2 .
Touch the function that you want to execute.
A setting screen for that function appears.
3 .
Select the necessary parameters, and edit their
values.
4 .
Select [E6] EXECUTE.
A confirmation message appears.
If you decide to cancel, choose [E5] CANCEL.
5 .
Select [E5] OK.
If you decide to cancel, choose [E6] CANCEL.

Correcting the timing of a pattern
This function quantizes an already-recorded pattern.
MEMO
Quantize corrects only the timing at which you press a key (note-
on) and the timing at which you release a key (note-off ); it does not
correct the timing of other performance data. This means that you
may experience unintended results if performance data such as
pitch bend or modulation is shifted away from the notes to which it
originally applied.

PATTERN
Specifies how quantization will occur.
GRID
<Quantize
Type>
SHUFFLE
Specifies the quantization timing as a note value.
GRID: 1/32 ( )–1/4 ( )
SHUFFLE: 1/16 ( )–1/8 ( )
If you're using grid quantize, choose the shortest note
value that occurs in the region that you're quantizing.
Resolution
[E1] knob
* If you apply shuffle quantize to performance data
that has significant discrepancies in timing, you
might not obtain the result you expect. In this case,
first apply grid quantize to the original performance
data so that it is aligned according to the musical
score, and then apply shuffle quantize to obtain the
desired effect.

Explanation
Changes apply to the region specified
in LOOP SETTING (p. 112).
Changes apply to the selected pattern.
Grid quantization is applied during
editing. Use this when you want
accurate timing, such as for drums or
bass.
Shuffle quantization is applied during
editing. Use this when you want to
give the rhythm a sense of shuffle or
swing.
Use this setting when applying grid
quantize. It specifies how greatly the
notes will be moved toward intervals
of the note value specified by Grid
Resolution.
If this is set to "100%", notes will be
moved all the way to precise intervals
of the Grid Resolution timing. With
lower values, less timing correction is
applied to the notes. With a setting of
"0%", no timing correction is applied.
Use this setting when applying shuffle
quantize. If this is set to 50%, notes will
sound at equal spacing. As this value is
increased, you obtain a bouncy effect
as with dotted notes.
