Editing Songs  Voice Change the Voice for the selected track. When a Voice is selected, the suitable Voice parameters (page 3) such as Voice Volume or effect send level for each Voice is automatically recalled. However, the DSP level is set to 0.  Ch Transpose This allows you to transpose the recorded data of individual channels up or down by a maximum of two octaves in semitone increments.  Quantize The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a track. For example, if you record the musical phrase shown below, 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. NOTE • Make sure not to transpose channels 9 and 10. In general, Drum kits are assigned to these channels. If you transpose the channels of Drum kits, the instruments assigned to each key will be changed. Select the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the track. For example, if eighth notes are the shortest in the track, you should use eighth note as the Quantize size. After 1/8 note quantization Settings Display 1/4 note 1/4 1/4 note triplet 1/6 1/8 note 1/8 1/8 note triplet 1/12 1/16 note 1/16 1/16 note triplet 1/24 1/32 note 1/32 1/8 note + 1/8 note triplet* 1/8+1/12 1/16 note + 1/8 note triplet* 1/16+1/12 1/16 note + 1/16 note triplet* 1/16+1/24 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. Reference Manual 27
