Selecting a template
Templates are categorized by the three elements of
genre, groove, and variation.
Select the template which combines the desired ele-
ments.
Genre
Dance: 16 beat dance
Fuson: 16 beat fusion
Regge: 16 beat reggae
Pops: 8 beat pops
Rhumb: 8 beat rhumba
Others: samba, axe, salsa, tuplets
Groove
Nm (Normal): on the beat
Hv (Heavy): ÓdraggingÓ the beat
Ps (Pushed): ÓrushingÓ the beat
Variation
L.Ac (Light Accent): light dynamics
H.Ac (Hard Accent): heavy dynamics
L.Sw (Light Swing): light swing
H.Sw (Hard Swing): strong swing
For example, in the case of a dance song where you
wish to drag the beat with light swing, you would
select ÒDance-Hv-L.Sw.Ó
* The genre names are only a guideline, and do not mean
that those templates can be used only in the named genre.
Try out additional possibilities.
* If you apply Groove Quantize to musical data which con-
tains inaccuracies in timing, you may not obtain the
desired results. In such cases, it is best to apply Grid
Quantize first, to bring the timing of the original musical
data into alignment with the printed notes.
* The templates are for use with 4/4 time signatures.
Applying them to other time signatures may not produce
the desired result.
* For samba, axe, salsa and tuplet, it is not possible to select
groove or variation.

Applying Groove Quantize
1. Play back the pattern that you wish to
quantize.
2. Press [QUANTIZE] to make the GROOVE
indicator light.
fig.7-15
3. Groove Quantize will be applied according
to the settings of the selected template.
4. Rotate the [TIMING] knob to adjust the
Strength.
fig.7-16TEXT
Range: 0Ð100%
Strength specifies the degree to which the note timing
will be corrected toward the timings specified by the
template. As the knob is rotated clockwise, the notes
will be corrected further toward the timing of the tem-
plate.
When this setting is at Ò0%,Ó the notes will be played
at their original (un-quantized) timing.
5. Press [FUNC] to make the indicator blink,
and rotate the VELOCITY knob to adjust the
Velocity Strength.
fig.7-17TEXT
Range: 0Ð100%
Velocity Strength is the degree to which the velocities
of the pattern will be adjusted toward the velocities of
the template. As the knob is rotated clockwise, the
velocities that are played will be closer to the velocities
of the template.
When this setting is at Ò0%,Ó the notes will be played
at their original velocities.
