Resol (Resolution)
Use this parameter to set the quantization during
recording. Quantization is a way of correcting tim-
ing errors; notes played too soon or too later are
moved to the nearest axis of a rhythmic “grid”, set
with this parameter, thus playing perfectly in time.
Hi No quantization applied.
(1/32)… (1/8)
Grid resolution, in musical values. For
example, when you select 1/16, all notes
are moved to the nearest 1/16 division.
When you select 1/8, all notes are moved
to the nearest 1/8 division
.
Meter
This is the meter (or time signature) of the Song. You
can edit this parameter only when the Song is empty,
i.e. before you begin recording anything. To insert a
meter change in the middle of the Song, use the “Insert
Measure” function (see page 102).
Sel.Tempo (Select Tempo)
Select this parameter to use the TEMPO/VALUE con-
trols to set the tempo.
Note: You can always change the Tempo, when other param-
eters are selected, by keeping the SHIFT button pressed, and
rotating the DIAL.
Note: The tempo is always record in overwrite mode (old
data is replaced by the new data).
Tempo (Tempo mode)
This parameter sets the way tempo events are read.
Record All Tempo changes made during record-
ing will be recorded to the Master Track.
Auto The Sequencer plays back all recorded
Tempo events. No new Tempo events are
recorded.
Manual The latest manual Tempo setting (made
using the TEMPO/VALUE controls) is
considered the current Tempo value. No
Tempo change will be recorded. This is
very useful to record the Song much
slower than its actual Tempo.
