Using a high Quantize Rate allows you to add subtle timing variations. For example,
many rock drummers create an exciting feel by slightly delaying their off-beat on the
snare drum. This is easy to create in the Step Write Mode. In this example, the Snare
Drum is entered using a Quantize rate of 1/48. The 2nd and 4th quarter-notes fall at
beats 13 and 37 respectively, so the Snare Drum notes are entered at beats 14 and 38
to provide the delay.

NOTE: Quantize can be set at any time. After pressing the QUANTIZE key you must
then press the key corresponding to the function ihe RX5 was using prior to setting the
Quantize rate, should you wish to return to that function. For example, if you were writing
in Real Time, press REAL TIME WRITE after setting the Quantize rate so that you can
continue writing

2. Use the Numeric Key Pad to set the Quantize Rate. The fraction numbers on the
Numeric Key Pad indicate the Quantize Rate. The LCD will indicate the new Quantize
Rate
Range: 1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/42, 1/16, 1/24, 1/32, 1/48, OFF.
e In the Step Write Mode, if the Quantize is set to OFF, you can write a Pattern with
beat lengths of 1/96th notes
* During Step Write, if you change the Quantize Rate after the first beat of a bar, writing
will continue at the old Quantize Rate until the Pattern recycles (or, in a Pattern
containing more than one bar, until you reach the next bar).
OPERATION there are three ways to set the Tempo.
1. TEMPO SLIDER
When the Tempo slider is moved, the tempo will jump to the position corresponding to
the position of the slider, rather than changing gradually. This is a useful way to rapidly
set an approximate tempo.
If you wish to see the Tempo setting, press TEMPO. Example: Pattern Select Mode.
SELECT РТМ Jð w
TEMPO 4=128
2. —1/МО AND +1/YES KEYS
This is a convenient way of slightly altering, or gradually altering, the Tempo.
1. Press TEMPO. The LCD will show the current Tempo.
2. Press а — 1/NO key or + 1/YES key to decrease or increase the Tempo by one beat
per minute. Holding one of these keys causes a continuous smooth change.
3. NUMERIC KEY PAD
This is a convenient way of entering an exact Tempo setting. If carried out during play
or write, the tempo will switch to the new setting as soon as the last figure of the new
tempo is entered.
1. Press TEMPO. The LCD will show the current Tempo
2. Use the Numeric Key Pad to enter a two-digit tempo (in the case of a tempo of 40—
99) or a three-digit Tempo (in the case of tempo of 100 to 250).
