Quantize
Quantization is sometimes called auto-correct. It forces recorded pad hits to be in time.
With quantization turned on, a pad can be pressed slightly before or after the quantize note,
and its timing will be rounded to the nearest note. For example, if quantization is set to
sixteenth notes, every note recorded will be accurately timed to a sixteenth note.
The finest level of quantization is 256
th
note triplets. That is the equivalent of non-quantized.
There is an asterisk next to 64
th
note triplets indicating that is the Classic “fine” quantization.
There is a default quantize setting, and a separate quantize setting for every track. If a track’s
quantization is set to default, then its quantization will change when the default setting is
changed. Changing quantization does not affect anything recorded prior to the change.
The quantize setting also controls the repeat rate when using the Tap/Repeat key.
Default and track quantize settings are saved with the project, not with the kit.
When recording a pattern, the sound will be heard when the key is pressed. When the pattern
plays back, the sounds will be heard quantized. It is possible to press a pad faster than the
current quantize setting, in which case multiple pad presses will be quantized to the same note
and a single pad press will be recorded into the pattern.
To change the default quantization without going to the quantize menu, hold the Quantize key
and press the arrow keys or turn the encoder.
To change an individual track’s quantization without going to the swing menu, hold the Quantize
key, press a pad, then and press the arrow keys or turn the encoder.
