STEP
The [VALUE] display shows the current quantize setting.
Quantization refers to the degree of detail with which notes are
recorded. By setting the quantize value to the shortest note that
you want to use for the pattern, recording can be carried out while
automatically maintaining precise timing. You can also turn the
quantize function off, to retain the human touch that is
characterized by slightly irregular timing.
The [FUNCTION] key is used to make various settings for the
