Explanation
Input Qtz
(Input Quantize)
Quantize is a function that automatically corrects inaccuracies
in the timing at which you play the keyboard, tightening-up the
rhythmic accuracy.
You can apply the quantize function during realtime recording.
This setting species whether quantize will be applied during
recording.
OFF: Quantize is not applied during recording.
GRID: Quantize is applied during recording. Use this when you
need precise timing, such as for drums or bass.
SHFL (SHUFFLE): Shue quantize is applied during recording.
Use this when you want to give the rhythm a shue or
swing feel.
Reso
(Resolution)
Species the note timing value at which quantization is applied.
GRID: 1/32 (
)–1/4 ( )
SHFL: 1/16 (
)–1/8 ( )
Strength
This setting is used with grid quantize. It species the degree
to which your notes are moved to precise intervals of the note
values specied by the Reso setting. If this is set to “100%,” the
notes that you record are moved all the way to exact intervals
of the specied Reso. With lower percentages, less correction is
applied. If this is set to “0%,” the timing is not corrected at all.
0–100%
Rate
Use this setting when applying shue quantize.
With a setting of “50%” the notes are spaced at equal intervals.
As you increase this setting, you’ll get an increasingly “bouncy”
feel as though the notes were dotted.
Loop Rec
Specify whether Real Time REC turns o (OFF) or stays on
(ON) when you move to the next loop after recording your
performance.
Tempo Rec
Species whether tempo changes are recorded (ON) or not
recorded (OFF).
Click Switch Temporarily turns the click on/o.
