4 Edit the data by referring to the description of each edit display below. 5 Press the [ENTER] button to actually enter the edits for each display. After the operation is completed, the "Execute --> [ENTER]" indication on the display changes to "Undo --> [ENTER]," letting you restore the original data if you are not satisfied with the operation results. The Undo function only has one level; only the previous operation can be undone. 6 Use the [8 ] (Save) buttons to carry out the Save operation. For details, refer to "Basic Operations" in the Owner's Manual. NOTICE The edited Song data will be lost if you select another Song or turn off the power to the instrument without carrying out the Save operation.  Quantize The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. 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. 4 Songs [1 ]/ Channel [2 ] [3 ]- Size [5 ] Determines which MIDI channel in the Song data is to be quantized. Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as the Quantize size. Quarter-note length After 1/8 note quantization Settings: 1/4 note 1/4 note triplet 1/8 note 1/8 note triplet 1/16 note 1/16 note triplet 1/32 note 1/8 note+ 1/8 note triplet* 1/16 note+ 1/8 note triplet* 1/16 note+ 1/16 note triplet* 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 eighthnote triplets 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. 56 DGX-670 Reference Manual
