SQ-80 — Musician's Manual
6) QUANTIZE — Auto-Correct
The Quantize or Auto-Correct function can take a less than perfect Track and put it right on the beat.
The
SQ-80 uses post-quantization — that is, you first record a Track, then apply the Auto-Correct later
as an Editing option. This has two advantages over quantizing a Track on the way in.
First, you are less likely to accidentally Quantize a Track to sixteenth-note triplets, or some other value
that's not what you had in mind. Second, by putting up the
PLAY/KEEP Page after each Quantize
rocedure, the SQ-80 gives you the chance to hear the effect of a given quantization before deciding
whether to keep it.
