Setting the pre-count (PRE COUNT)
Setting Range: 0, 1, 2, PAd
The pre-count (number of metronome ticks before the start of pattern real-time recording) can be turned

The settings have the following meaning.
0: Real-time recording starts immediately when the [START] key is pressed.
1: Real-time recording starts after 1 measure has been counted.
2: Real-time recording starts after 2 measures have been counted.
PAd: The unit goes into recording standby mode when the [START] key is pressed, and recording
starts when any pad is pressed.

Setting Range: 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, Hi

[VALUE UP/DOWN] keys or the [SOUND JAMMER] slider.
The quantize setting affects the following four functions:
• Shortest note for real-time recording
• Shortest note for step recording
• Sound interval when [REPEAT/STEP] key is used together with pad for continuous
repetition
