Quantize
The QUANTIZE function can correct the timing of your performance after it has been recorded. If the rhythm is slightly out of sync
or inexact, it will automatically be corrected to the specified quantize level.
1. On the SEQ MENU display, select RECORD
& EDIT.
2. On the RECORD & EDIT display, select
QUANTIZE.
• The display looks similar to the following.
3. Use the TRACK
∧
and
∨
buttons to specify
the track number.
• You cannot select the track for the CONTROL, RHYTHM
or CHORD part.
• If ALL is selected, all the tracks are quantized.
4. Use the FIRST MEASURE
∧
and
∨
buttons
to specify the start point (measure number).
5. Use the LAST MEASURE
∧
and
∨
buttons to
specify the end point (measure number).

∨
buttons to specify
the quantize level.

7. Use the STRENGTH
∧
and
∨
buttons to select
the amount of quantize (%).
• 100% is a convenient setting. When set to 100%, the
performance data is quantized exactly to the level
specified for the VALUE (“just”). For example, at 50%,
the data is quantized to a point that is half that of the just
level. By this setting, you can attain an effect that is very
slightly off-beat from the rhythm.
8. Use the WINDOW
∧
and
∨
buttons to specify
the range (%) affected by the quantize setting.
• With the increment set to 100 for the VALUE, at a +
setting, data close to the just point is corrected, and at a
– setting, data far from the just point is corrected. For
example, if set to –30% the quantize function affects data
far from the just point, and if set to +30% the quantize
function affects data close to the just point. +100% is
usually a convenient setting.
• The +100% setting and the –100% setting are the same.
Example: When VALUE is set to
