Basic Techniques Recording Your Performances  Tempo You can set the song tempo at which you wish to record your performance.  Quantize Quantization is a function that corrects any small deviations in the timing of your performance. The DTX502 can make recordings quantized based on a specified note length. The available quantization settings are as follows. • When 3/8, 6/8, 9/8, 12/8, or 15/8 is set as the time signature: A, Ü, ÜA, or off • When a time signature other than the above is set: ⁄, ⁄A, Ö, ÖA, Ü, ÜA, or off Example of how quantizing works • These recorded notes were not played exactly in time.
