RPS Trigger Quantize
When using RPS during pattern playback, patterns and phrases
may not play back in precise alignment, depending on the
timing at which you press the keyboard pads. On the MC-808
you can specify the playback timing of the phrase, so it will play
back in precise synchronization with the pattern (“RPS Trig
Qtz” (p. 119)).
