196 Chapter 8 Knob Functions
8.3 Quantize and Resolution
Some of the knob functions support a QUANTIZE setting, while several others sup-
port a
RESOLUTION setting.
QUANTIZE Setting
The quantize setting determines the interval at which the SU700 sequencer records
knob and pad input. For a detailed explanation of quantizing, refer to “Using Quan-
tizing,” on page 174.
Quantizing is applied to the SOUND/LEVEL, SOUND/PAN, SOUND/PITCH, and FIL-
TER/CUTOFF knob functions, and to pad presses entered while the pad function is
set to PLAY, ON/MUTE, or LOOP RESTART. Pressing any of these knob-function or
pad-function selectors causes the NOTE area of the screen to display the quantizing
interval. You can then change the interval by holding down the [NOTE] button (so
that the quantize area of the screen is blinking) and turning the dial.
Remember that the QUANTIZE setting is meaningful only on new knob and
pad actions that you input while recording a song. Quantizing has no affect on
data that you have already recorded.
RESOLUTION Settings
The GROOVE knob functions utilize a resolution setting that determines the groove
interval. A number of effects also utilize a resolution setting.
Groove Resolution: When you press any of the GROOVE function buttons, the cur-
rent groove resolution setting for the most recently accessed track appears in the
NOTE area of screen. This setting determines the groove interval used on that track.
For detailed information, refer to the explanation of the GROOVE TIMING function,
below.
Effect Resolution: Some effects include a resolution value that determines the inter-
val or period used when applying the effect. If you assign such an effect to one of the
three effect blocks, the resolution value will appear on the screen when you press the
corresponding EFFECT button ([EFFECT 1], [EFFECT 2], or [EFFECT 3].) For
more information, refer to the explanation of the EFFECT group, below.
NOTE:
The pad ROLL function also uses a resolution setting, which appears on the screen when-
ever you hold down the [ROLL] button. This resolution setting is not related to the reso-
lution settings discussed above. For an explanation of the ROLL function, see page 168.
