Editing Quantization Settings - Pearl Red Box RBM 20 Owner's Manual

• #Bars: The number of bars (2-16) that will be counted by the click track before the module actually begins
recording. When set to "OFF," the Sequence will begin recording as soon as you press the module's REC button
with no count-in. When set to "NOTE ON," the Sequence will begin recording from the first note that is sent to it
(e.g., when you strike the first trigger, the Sequence will immediately start to record) with no count-in.
• Click: Indicates when the click track will be heard. When set to "REC ONLY," the click track will only be heard
while recording a Sequence. When set to "REC + PLAY," the click track will be heard while recording a Sequence
and while playing back a Sequence. When set to "MANUAL," the click track will be enabled or disabled by the
module's CLICK button.
• Sound: The sound of the click track. When set to "CLICK," the click track will use the CLICK settings from
the UTILITIES Menu (see the CLIK (F1) part of the UTILITIES MENU section for more information). When set to
"SIMPLE," the click track will use the default click sound.
5. When you are finished, you can press EXIT or any button that will enter another screen (e.g., KIT SELECT,
UTILITIES, etc.).

EDITING QUANTIZATION SETTINGS

If the notes of a Sequence are not precisely aligned with a bar's subdivisions
(e.g., eighth notes, 16th notes, etc.), quantization allows you to "snap" them into place automatically.
This page lets you configure the quantization settings for your Sequences:
1. Press SEQ/SONG to enter the main screen of the Sequencer.
2. Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to select the "Seq"
field at the top of the LCD, then use the DEC- / INC+
buttons or the VALUE / TEMPO DIAL to select the Sequence you
want to edit.
3. Press QUAN (F4). The top of the LCD will show the
number of the Sequence but with the title "Quantize" to
indicate you are editing the quantization settings for that
Sequence.
4. Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to select settings to
edit for that Sequence. Use the DEC- / INC+
buttons or the VALUE / TEMPO DIAL to change the settings:
• Track: The track of the Sequence – "DRUMS" or
"ACCOMP" (Accompaniment) – to which quantization will be applied.
• Value: The subdivision of a bar to which all notes will
be quantized. For example, if this set to 1/16, all notes will be "snapped" to the nearest 16th
note. The range is 1/4 – 1/64 (regular and triplet) and "OFF," which will turn quantization off.
• Swing: The amount of swing applied to the quantization – 54%, 58%, 62%, or "OFF."
5. To apply quantization to the Sequence, press QUANTIZE (F1 or F2). A window will appear to ask you to confirm
this choice. Quantization can not be undone, so consider this before confirming. Press FIX (F4) to apply quantization
or CANCEL (F2 or F3) to cancel it.
6. When you are finished, you can press EXIT or any button that will enter another screen (e.g., KIT SELECT,
UTILITIES, etc.).
