PATTERN OPERATIONS
PATTERN/INSTRUMENT CLEAR
FUNCTION то clear a selected Pattern, or a selected instrument in a
Pattern.
You can instantly clear (erase) a whole Pattern. This would be done, for example, if the
RX5's Pattern memory were full and you wanted to write another Pattern.
You can also clear a selected instrument within a Pattern. This gives you an easy way
of re-arranging a Pattern to make a new one. Simply remove an instrument (or several
instruments) and write new parts as needed.
* Youcan also clear ail 100 Patterns simultaneously. Referto UTILITY MODE JOB #05

QUANTIZE FUNCTION
FUNCTION
During Real Time Write, to automatically correct the timing of
a Pattern to a pre-selected beat length.
During Step Write, to set the minimum beat length for entry
of notes.
Quantize determines the smallest note-values which can be written into a Pattern. Any
notes played between these values will be moved to the nearest value, or "beat" These
are NOT to be confused with the “beats” a bar is divided into. For example, setting the
Quantize at 1/8 means that the shortest notes that can be written are 1/8th notes — i.e.,
the maximum number of notes that can be written in a 4/4 bar is 8.
Application of the Quantize function depends on which Pattern writing mode you are
using.
