job
appear briefly when the job is done. Press the [F6] key ("Exit") to return to the

Aligns notes in the specified user phrase to or close to the nearest specified
beat.
The "Phrase" parameter selects the user phrase to be affected by the Quantize
job: "001" ... "100".
The "Quantize" parameter determines to what beats the note data in the
specified phrase will be aligned. If you select " ", for example, all notes in the
phrase will be aligned to the nearest 16th-note beat, to a degree determined by
the "Strength" parameter.

The "Strength" parameter determines how "strongly" the notes are attracted
to the specified quantize value. The strength range is from 0% to 100%. At a
setting of "0%" no quantization will occur, while a setting of "100%" will
cause all notes to be aligned precisely to the nearest specified beat value. In-
between settings produce a corresponding shift in the position of all off-beat
notes to the nearest specified beat value. With a value setting of " " and a
strength setting of 50%, for example, a note that does not fall precisely on an
8th-note beat will be shifted about halfway to nearest 8th-note beat.
