one of the Editor windows (see the section Note Quantiza-
tion from page 99 onwards). Keep in mind that this over-
writes the original record position of the quantized note.
If you wanted to quantize various parts of a sequence dif-
ferently, you could divide the sequence up, and use differ-
ent quantization settings on each part of the sequence.
You can then recombine the parts of the original se-
quences without this affecting the way the parts are
played.
The quantization grid always begins at the start of a se-
quence. If the sequence does not start at the beginning of
the bar, neither does the quantization grid.
Qua: The quantization grid is accessed from a flip menu
under the Qua parameter in the sequence parameter box.
Quantization off: The setting off(3840) plays the notes with
the finest possible time resolution: 1/3840 note, which is
practically unquantized playback.
Normal quantization: The settings 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/
32 and 1/64 note quantize the sequence to the equivalent
note value.
Triplet quantization: The settings 1/3, 1/6, 1/12, 1/24, 1/48
and 1/96 note quantize the sequence to triplet note values.
A 1/6 note is equivalent to a quarter triplet, 1/12 note to an
eighth triplet, 1/24 note to a sixteenth triplet and 1/48 note
to a thirty-second triplet, etc.…
Mixed quantization: The setting 8 & 12 corresponds to
eighths and eighth triplets, 16 & 12 to sixteenths and eighth
triplets and 16 & 24 to sixteenths and sixteenth triplets.
Mixed quantization always applies both note values and
thus naturally requires greater precision when playing.
Odd quantization: The setting 9-Tuplet means novetuplets
(1 bar = 9 beats), 7-Tuplet is septuplets (1 bar = 7 beats), 5-
Tuplet/4 is quarterquintuplets (1 bar = 5 beats), and 5-Tu-
plet/8 is eighthquintuplets (1 bar = 10 beats).
Fixing the Quantization: In the same way that the
other sequence parameters can be normalized, the quan-
tization settings can also be adopted permanently by the
stored data.
To do this, use the menu command Functions > Sequence
Parameter > Fix Quantize.
Of course once this is done it is impossible to revert to the
original recording.
Pre-quantization: The Fix Quantize function is especially
suited to pre-quantization. For example, if a recorded se-
quence cannot be immediately quantized to a 1/16 swing
without producing a few incorrect notes, start by quantiz-
