Pattern Length Grid
The Pattern Length Grid affects the resolutions available when holding PATTERN and turn-
ing Knob 1. Changing this to a value less than 1 allows you to dial in lengths on the Pattern
page other than a full bar for example.
The Pattern Length Grid on the hardware
Choose the Pattern Length Grid using the Pads in a range from 1/1 (one full note) to 1/64T
(1/64 th note triplet); you can also turn it off by hitting Pad 16.
%
Try a short quantization like ¼ note and change the Pattern Length in Pattern Mode
(see page 56) using Button 1 to create variations of a Pattern. If you select an even
higher value like 1/64th you can create stuttering breaks and rolls.
Quantization after recording
You can quantize your notes, no matter how you recorded them. They will be quantized ac-
cording to the Step Grid selected in your Pattern. If you turn the Step Grid off, no quantization
will be applied. There are two strengths of quantization: full quantization and half quantization
(50%). To apply full quantization, press SHIFT+Pad 5 (QUANTIZE). All selected notes will
now be shifted in time to the next position dened by the selected Step Grid. If you want
to apply only a bit of quantization to keep the groove you created by playing your notes live,
press SHIFT+Pad 6 (QUANTIZE 50%). The result will be that the notes get shifted half way
to the selected Step Grid.
%
You can repeatedly apply Quantize 50% until you are happy; you could for example
apply it until the notes are close enough to sound tight, but loose enough to maintain
their basic “feel.”
