PATTERN MODE 12. Job t Undo/Redo Job 00 Undo/Redo 1 t Note Job 01 Quantize 1 2 2 The Undo job cancels the changes you made in your most recent patch session, recording session, editing session, or job, restoring the data to its previous state. This allows you to recover from accidental data loss. The Redo job, which becomes available only after you execute an Undo, cancels the Undo and restores the changes. The Undo/Redo job is effective on PATTERN mode patch sessions, and on PATTERN mode and SONG mode recording sessions, editing sessions, and jobs (with the exception of the Song Name and Phrase Name jobs). 3 54 6 This job quantizes note events over a specified segment of a specified track. Quantizing is the process of adjusting the timing of note events by pulling them closer to the nearest interval boundary (or quantizing line). You can use this feature, for example, to improve the timing of a performance you recorded in real time. Before running the job, you must set the musical interval (or quantizing value) that you want to use. This value sets the distance between adjacent quantizing lines. The figure below illustrates the concept for quarter-note and eighth-note quantizing values. The Undo job is effective only on the most recent data changes. If you run a recording session and then an editing session, for example, the Undo will be available only for the editing session. (But note that if you move to a recording, editing, or job screen and then quit without making any changes, this does not count as a session.) Original note data Quarter-note length Result when quantizing value is (at 100% strength) You can undo and then redo the same change as many times as you like (provided that you don't make any other changes in between). This can be useful when you want to compare two versions of your data. 1. Undo/Redo indication The screen displays the word Undo or Redo to indicate the job that is currently available. As soon as you execute an Undo, the job name changes to Redo. The Redo will remain available until you change data again. 2. Undo/Redo target The two entries at the bottom of the screen identify the data-change currently available for undoing or redoing. This will be the most recently executed editing, recording, or job-related data change. (In the example above, the most recent change was made by running the Quantize job under the PATTERN mode.) Result when quantizing value is (at 100% strength) The quantizing strength determines how closely notes are pulled toward the nearest quantizing line. The swing rate can be used to slightly delay the note events in every even-numbered interval, thereby adding a "swing" to the music. If you are using an eighth-note quantizing value, for example, the delay applies to all notes starting within the second, fourth, sixth, or eighth interval of the measures, as illustrated. Original timing Quarter-note length Quantizing value = , Swing rate = 50% (no delay) Quantizing value = , Swing rate = 60% (delay applied) 82 RM1x SEQUENCE REMIXER
