 Voice
Change the Voice for the selected track. When a Voice is selected, the suitable Voice
parameters (page 3) such as Voice Volume or effect send level for each Voice is automat-
ically recalled. However, the DSP level is set to 0.
 Ch Transpose
This allows you to transpose the recorded data of individual channels up or down by a
maximum of two octaves in semitone increments.
 Quantize
The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a track. For exam-
ple, if you record the musical phrase shown below, you may not play it with absolute pre-
cision, and your performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise
timing. Quantize is a convenient way of correcting for this.
Select the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the Quantize
size to the shortest note value in the track. For example, if eighth notes are the shortest in
the track, you should use eighth note as the Quantize size.

The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they
allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time. For example, when the straight
eighth notes and eighth notes triplet are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the
straight eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight eighth notes—completely
eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both
the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.
