Using Quantize Modes 2, 3, 4, 6: These four quantize modes all record loops
in the following manner:
1. Press either loop footswitch, the 22500 begins recording the loop on
beat 1 of the Rhythm loop’s following bar. For example, if you press the
Loop A FSW on beat 2 of the Rhythm loop, the 22500 enters Record-
Ready mode and waits for the Rhythm loop’s next beat 1. At the
moment beat 1 hits, the 22500 starts recording.
2. When ending a recording, the 22500 records out the current bar in
which you press the loop FSW. If you press the loop FSW on beat 2
during the second bar of recording, the 22500 continues to record up to
the following beat 1 of the next bar, at which point the 22500 goes into
PLAY mode. The loop will be exactly 2 bars in length.
2: 2/4 time, quantizes loops to full bar lengths where each bar has 2 beats.
NOTE: Quantize mode 2 works best with Rhythm loops that are 2/4, 4/4, and
6/8. The 22500 does not contain a 2/4 Rhythm loop, though the majority of
factory Rhythms are 4/4. When you have a Rhythm playing, the RHYTHM
button’s LED blinks on the first beat of each bar while the TAP ON button’s LED
blinks on both beats.
3: 3/4 time, quantizes loops to full bar lengths where each bar has 3 beats.
NOTE: Quantize mode 3 works best when the Rhythm Type is set to a 3/4 drum
loop. The 22500 does not contain a 3/4 Rhythm loop from the factory but R
TYPE 01 is a generic metronome click which may be used. When you have a
Rhythm playing, the RHYTHM button’s LED blinks on the first beat of each bar
while the TAP ON button’s LED blinks on all three beats.
4: 4/4 time, quantizes loops to full bar lengths where each bar is made up of 4
beats. Since most popular western music uses the 4/4 time signature, this will
probably be the most used Quantize mode. The majority of built-in rhythms that
are supplied with the 22500 are in 4/4 time. NOTE: When you have a rhythm
playing, the RHYTHM button’s LED blinks on the first beat of each bar while the
TAP ON button’s LED blinks on all four beats.
6: 6/8 time, quantizes loops to full bar lengths where each bar has six 1/8
th
note
beats. Normally 6/8 time is used to create a triplet feel and the 1 and 4 beats
are usually accented. NOTE: Quantize mode 6 works best with a 6/8 Rhythm
loop. One 6/8 Rhythm loop is included from the factory: R TYPE 16. When you
select 6/8 quantize, the RHYTHM button’s LED blinks on the first beat and the
TAP ON button’s LED blinks on all six beats.
