Function Details
Quantize
The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you record the
musical phrase shown below, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your performance may have been
slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way of correcting for this.
Touch the [Select] below the instrument icon for the channel to be quantized, and then edit the parameters.
Delete
You can delete the data of the specified channel in the Song. Touch [Delete] and turn it on for the desired channel
whose data you wish to delete, and then touch [Execute] to actually delete the data.
Size Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the Quantize size to the
shortest note value in the channel. For example, if eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you
should use eighth note as the Quantize size.
The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they allow
you to quantize two different note values at the same time. For example, when the straight eighth
notes and eighth notes triplet are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the straight
eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight eighth notes—completely eliminating
any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight
and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.
Strength Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% produces exact timing. If a
value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved toward the specified quantization beats
according to the specified percentage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve
some of the “human” feel in the recording.
