the amount of quantize (%).
• 100% is a convenient setting. When set to 100%, the
performance data is quantized exactly to the level
specified for the VALUE ("just"). For example, at 50%,
the data is quantized to a point that is half that of the just
level. By this setting, you can attain an effect that is very
slightly off-beat from the rhythm.
∧
8.
Use the WINDOW and
the range (%) affected by the quantize setting.
• With the increment set to 100 for the VALUE, at a +
setting, data close to the just point is corrected, and at a
– setting, data far from the just point is corrected. For
example, if set to –30% the quantize function affects data
far from the just point, and if set to +30% the quantize
function affects data close to the just point. +100% is
usually a convenient setting.
• The +100% setting and the –100% setting are the same.
Example: When VALUE is set to
100% 50%
+100%
+50%
+30%
–50%
