How does Quantize
work?
The following diagram
shows how a track
recorded in real time
and played with
incorrect timing can be
corrected by quantizing
with the values 1/4 and
1/8.
The top line represents
an unquantized real
time recording of one
bar, showing events out
of time with respect to
the “grid” resolution of
1/16.
The second line shows
the same events
quantized with a value
of 1/4. The events are
shifted to the nearest
values.
The third line shows the
same events quantized
with a value of 1/8.
Note: Quantize does not
destroy recorded note
data.
QUANTIZE
This operation corrects the timing of each event in the specified range to the nearest
interval (quantization) of the specified value.
Song Selects the Song to work on.
Track Specifies the track in which to Quantize the events.
Bar Specifies the first and last bar to be quantized.
Note Quantize Specifies the Quantize value.
This parameter determines the timing interval to which the
notes will be quantized.
You can select the values 1/4, 1/8, 1/12, 1/16, 1/12, 1/32, 1/
48, 1/64, 1/96 and Free.
Free returns tracks precisely to their real time recorded status, cancelling the
Quantize value used (if any).
Quantize “shifts” the notes to the nearest specified interval. For example, if the
shortest note value should be a 16th note, specify 1/16. Music that contains Triplets
requires Quantize values such as 1/12, 1/24 or 1/48.
Press ENT to confirm the operation.
Use UNDO to restore the original status if you make a mistake.
Press ESC or QUANT to leave the function without performing the operation.
Note: Quantize corrects Note On positions but the note lengths remain the same. Other
type of data is not affected by Quantize (e.g. control data, pitch bend, etc.).
Quantize Procedure in Record mode
1. After recording a Track, press Quant.
2. Select a quantize value and press ENT to execute the operation.
3. Start the playback of the track and listen to the result.
4. If the recording is not satisfactory, select a different Quantize value and confirm
again with ENT.
5. Listen to the playback and continue confirming different values until the recording
is satisfactory.
