Specifies the interval to which the notes should be aligned.
Set this to “GRID 32” when quantizing to thirty-second note
intervals, and set this to “GRID 4.3” when quantizing to quarter-
note triplets.
The “SHUFFLE 16” and “SHUFFLE 8” settings give the rhythm a
shuffle or swing feel.
[CTRL 3] knob
STR
0–100 (%)
Sets the strength of quantization used for adjusting the note
timing, as set in the QTZ parameter.
If you’ve selected “GRID” for the QTZ parameter, a setting of
100% corrects the note timing to match the timing set in the
QTZ parameter.
