Resolution
Use this parameter to set the quantization during recording.
Quantization is a way of correcting timing errors; notes played
too soon or too late are moved to the nearest axis of a rhythmic
“grid”, set with this parameter, thus playing perfectly in time.
High No quantization applied.
(1/32)… (1/8)
Grid resolution, in musical values. For example,
when you select 1/8, all notes are moved to the
nearest 1/8 division. When you select 1/4, all
notes are moved to the nearest 1/4 division.
