BEAT/QUANTIZE Page-Step Write 1 BEAT Determines the time signature used for the rhythm. Available time signatures are 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4. The 4/4 time is the default setting when a blank pattern has been selected. 2 QUANTIZE Determines the resolution of the Step Write function. Step Write operations involve advancing in "steps" along regularly spaced points in a measure and Quantize lets you set how many points there will be in the measure. The default setting is a quarter note. In Real Time Write, this function is generally the same as that in Step Write operation. Used with Real Time Write, however, it allows you to automatically "correct" the timing of the notes you enter, according to the specified Quantize resolution. 3 METRONOME-Real Time Write only Turns the metronome click on or off. When set to ON, the metronome sounds on each beat of the measure (for example, three times per measure in 3/4 time) to serve as a rhythmic guide when programming patterns. The metronome can be turned on or off while a rhythm is playing. BEAT/QUANTIZE Page-Real Time Write NOTE: Beat can only be changed in Real Time Write when the rhythm is stopped. NOTE: The metronome is automatically set to ON when a blank pattern has been selected, and is set to OFF when an existing pattern is copied. (6) Entering Percussion Sounds to a Rhythm Pattern Percussion sounds can be entered by either Step Write or Real Time Write from the EDIT page. (Sounds can also be entered in the BEAT/ QUANTIZE page by Real Time Write.) As with the BEAT/ QUANTIZE page above, the Step Write EDIT page is selected when the rhythm is stopped, and Real Time Write EDIT is selected when the pattern is running. 113

BEAT/QUANTIZE Page—Step Write
1
BEAT
Determines the time signature used for the rhythm.
Available
time signatures are 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4.
The 4/4 time is the default
setting when a blank pattern has been selected.
NOTE:
Beat can only be changed in Real Time
Write when the rhythm is stopped.
2
QUANTIZE
Determines the resolution of the Step Write function.
Step Write
operations involve advancing in “steps” along regularly spaced
points in a measure and Quantize lets you set how many points
there will be in the measure.
The default setting is a quarter
note.
In Real Time Write, this function is generally the same as that
in Step Write operation.
Used with Real Time Write, however,
it allows you to automatically “correct” the timing of the notes
you enter, according to the specified Quantize resolution.
3
METRONOME—Real Time Write only
Turns the metronome click on or off.
When set to ON, the
metronome sounds on each beat of the measure (for example,
three times per measure in 3/4 time) to serve as a rhythmic
guide when programming patterns.
The metronome can be
turned on or off while a rhythm is playing.
NOTE:
The metronome is automatically set to ON
when a blank pattern has been selected,
and is set to OFF when an existing pattern
is copied.
BEAT/QUANTIZE Page—Real Time Write
(6) Entering Percussion Sounds to a Rhythm Pattern
Percussion sounds can be entered by either Step Write or Real Time
Write from the EDIT page.
(Sounds can also be entered in the BEAT/
QUANTIZE page by Real Time Write.)
As with the BEAT/
QUANTIZE page above, the Step Write
EDIT page is selected when
the rhythm is stopped, and Real Time Write EDIT is selected when the
pattern is running.
