Feature Reference — Pattern Record Mode
8. Setting the Quantization
Set the quantization values for the recording. Quantization helps to produce a "tight" recording by
automatically aligning notes to the nearest specified beat as you record. For example, if you want to record
directly from a hi-hat on the eighth note, you can record your hi-hat sound precisely to the eighth note by
setting the quantization value to the eighth note.
The quantization set here will be the minimum unit of the recording data. Pick the shortest quantization in
the piece used for the phrase or rhythm you are recording.
The performance will be recorded exactly as played if the quantization is OFF. You can also assign the
quantization afterwards (P.91).
Move the cursor to the QUANT. focus area and rotate the Data Scroll Wheel or use the +1/YES and -1/NO
buttons to set the quantization.
Settings:
OFF, quarter note,
A The finest level of quantization is when quantization is OFF, which resolves to 96 clocks per quarter note.
9. Real-time Recording
Real-time recording allows you to record a pattern as you play the external MIDI keyboards or drum pads in
real-time.
! Press the START/STOP button and the LED above the button will flash once, and the DTX will countdown
two measures before beginning to record.
