When using RPS during pattern playback, patterns and phrases
may not play back in precise alignment, depending on the
timing at which you press the keyboard pads. On the MC-808
you can specify the playback timing of the phrase, so it will play
back in precise synchronization with the pattern ("RPS Trig
Qtz" (p. 119)).
