Reference Settings for Song Recording and Playback-Song Settings Parameters Quantize This allows you to correct the timing of notes you've recorded. For example, if the timing of your performance was slightly off in places, you can adjust the notes to precise eighth or sixteenth notes. Changes made in Quantize affect the entire Song. A B Quantize Execute?--> NO YES SwingRate= 50% 1/8 C D Changes the swing rate Selects the notes for which you can adjust the timing Quantize timing settings (according to note value): Off 1/4 Quarter note 1/8 Eighth note 1/12 ........... Eighth note triplets 1/16 ........... Sixteenth note 1/24 ........... Sixteenth note triplets If you select "1/8" or "1/16" for correction, the Swing Rate parameter is shown (as a percentage value). Changing the Swing Rate will make the Song sound more lively and give it more of a swing or jazzy feel. Setting range: 0% - 100% If you select "1/8" for correction: Your keyboard performance Swing rate = 50%: No swing; straight Swing rate = 75% (51% or higher): The timing of even beat notes is slightly delayed. Swing rate = 25% (49% or lower): The timing of even beat notes is slightly early. Swing rate = 67%: The timing of even beat notes is moved to the third beat of the triplets. Default setting: Off Quick Play This allows you to specify whether a Song that starts at a point other than the first beat of the first measure should be played from the first actual note or from the beginning of the Song. (Some Songs are recorded with initial settings and non-note data at the very beginning of the Song; this parameter allows you to skip those settings and play the Song from the first note. It also allows you to skip over rests that naturally occur before the pickup note in a Song.) A QuickPlay C Settings: On B NO YES D On Playback from the first note Off Playback from the start of the Song (including a rest or blank measure) Default setting: On Channel Listen This allows you to select and audition the recorded contents of a single channel.

However, for some Songs, all channels (including the channels that contain no data) may be displayed. Channel Clear This allows you to delete data of a single specified channel, or of all 16 channels at once. A B ChannelClear Execute?--> NO YES Ch1 C D Setting range: Ch 1 - Ch 16, ALL (all channels) Default setting: Ch 1 n Song data consists of 16 channels.
