Start from
When checked, the measure shown by this parameter is a tem-
porary start point of the song, instead of measure 1. When you
press the (START/STOP) button to stop recording, or use
the << (REWIND) button to go back to the beginning, the Song
returns to this point.
Resolution
Use this parameter to set the quantization during recording.
Quantization is a way of correcting timing errors; notes played
too soon or too late are moved to the nearest axis of a rhythmic
“grid”, set with this parameter, thus playing perfectly in time.
High No quantization applied.
(1/32)… (1/8)
Grid resolution, in musical values. For example,
when you select 1/16, all notes are moved to the
nearest 1/16 division. When you select 1/8, all
notes are moved to the nearest 1/8 division.
Start/End
Start and End locators. These parameters area available only
when the “Auto Punch” recording mode is selected. They set the
starting and ending points of the Punch recording.
Tem po
Select this parameter, and use the TEMPO controls to set the
Tempo value.
Meter
This is the basic meter (or time signature) of the Song. You can
edit this parameter only when the Song is empty, i.e., before you
begin recording anything. To insert a meter change in the mid-
dle of the Song, use the “Insert Measure” function (see
page 142).
