The Phrase Jobs 94 The "Sens." parameter (sensitivity) determines the range over which notes will be quantized. This parameter can be set from "-100%" through "0%" to "+100%". at "0%" no quantization will occur. A setting of either "-100%" or "+100%" will cause all notes to be quantized. Refer to the graph below for an idea of how the quantize range is determined by other settings. The heavy solid lines in the sensitivity graph represent the range over which notes will be quantized. At a setting of "+50%", for example, only notes that fall within the range that is less than halfway to the quantize range of the adjacent note will be quantized. Notes outside this range and those of adjacent notes will be left un-quantized. Nearest specified beat +100% +50% Sensitivity 0% -50% -100% Quantize value (note length) The "Swing Rate" parameter produces a "swing" feel by shifting the timing of "back beats", as specified by the quantize parameters. For example, if the specified quantization value is 8th notes, then the swing effect will shift the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure forward to create a swing feel. If the quantize value is set to a compound note length (e.g. 8th note + 8th note triplet) the even-numbered back beats will be shifted. The "Swing Rate" parameter determines how much the timing of the affected notes will be shifted. The range is from 50% (no swing) to 75% (maximum swing). The "Gate Time" and "Velocity" parameters increase or decrease the gate times (length) and velocity of all notes affected by the swing parameter. The range of both parameters is from 1% to 200%. The "Gate Time" parameter sets the ratio between the shorter and longer gate time values. A setting of "100%" maintains the original relationship between the notes, lower values produce a narrower gate time range, and higher values produce a broader gate time range. The "Velocity" parameter sets the ratio between the lower and higher velocity values. A setting of "100%" maintains the original relationship between the notes, lower values produce a narrower dynamic range, and higher values produce a broader dynamic range. After setting the parameters as required press [ENTER] to execute the Quantize job. The metronome icon will appear on the display while the data is being processed, then "Completed" will appear briefly when the job is done. Press the [F6] key ("Exit") to return to the job list, or a mode key to go directly to the selected mode.
