Changing The Rhythmic Feel Of A Pattern (Assign 2: Quantize) - Roland Groovebox D2 Owner's Manual

Changing the rhythmic feel of a pattern (ASSIGN 2: QUANTIZE)

fig.QTE—
You can change the rhythm feel of the performance data of a pattern. By modifying the timing and velocity (volume) of the notes
in the pattern, you can produce a rhythm feel that is different than that of the original pattern.
fig.Quantize
You can modify the note timing by the location at which you press the D-FIELD.
When TYPE is set to "GROOVE," you can also modify the velocity by pressing a higher or lower location.

Explanation
Select the type of quantization.
Specify the note value to which the timing
will be aligned.
Specify the strength of the correction. Higher
settings will cause the timing to be corrected
more precisely (tightly).
Specify the note value to which the timing
will be aligned.
Adjust the amount of swing. With a setting of
"50," there will be no sense of swing at all.
Normally, a setting in the range of 60–66 will
produce a pleasant shuffle rhythm.
Select the template. *The templates are for a
4/4 time signature. The desired result will not
be obtained for other time signatures.
Specify the strength of the timing correction.
Higher settings will cause the timing to be ad-
justed closer to the timing of the template.
Specify the strength of the velocity correction.
Higher settings will cause the velocity to be
adjusted closer to the velocity of the template.

Quantize will not be applied.
GRID:
The note timing of the pattern will be corrected to-
ward the note value specified by the template set-
ting.
SHUFFLE:
The timing of the backbeats of the pattern will be
adjusted to create a "bouncy" feel as in shuffle or
swing.
GROOVE:
The note timing and velocity of the pattern will be
adjusted toward the values specified by the tem-
plate, producing a variety of different grooves.
