Recording Your Performance 4 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to call up the Song Selection display for saving your data, then save the data in the Song Selection display (page 70). ■ QUANTIZE menu 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 at right, 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. CHANNEL Determines the channel in the Song to be quantized. 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. CAUTION The recorded Song data will be lost if you select another Song or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation (page 70). About Quantize size (resolution) The Quantize size or resolution is the number of clocks per quarter note. After eighth note quantization Using, Creating and Editing Songs Settings quarter note eighth note sixteenth note thirty-second note sixteenth note + eighth note triplet* quarter eighth note note triplet triplet sixteenth note triplet eighth note + eighth note triplet* sixteenth note + sixteenth triplet* 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.
