Repeating Playback (Repeat)
Setting the Repeat Portion
with Accurate Timing
Normally, the repeat start and end points are registered at
the exact position where [REPEAT] is pressed. This may
make it difficult for you to set the repeat portion exactly as
you desire.
If this is the case, you can use the quantize function to have
the time [REPEAT] is pressed be adjusted to the timing of the
song.
The quantize function allows you to set the timing in one-
measure units.
Perform the procedure given below to use the quantize
function.
1. Press [UTILITY].
2. Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] to move the cursor to “SYS,”
and press [ENTER].

3. Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] to select “AB Qtz,” and turn
the TIME/VALUE dial to turn the setting on.
When off, the quantize function will not work.

4. Press [UTILITY] (or press [EXIT] repeatedly) to return
to the Play screen.
* During updating, “Keep power on!” appears in the upper line
of the display, while the lower line shows what is being
processed.
* Changing the tempo after having made the quantize function
settings in a repeated portion will result in timing
discrepancies between the repeat start and end points and the
beginnings and ends of measures.
* You can set the repeat portion to one measure by pressing
[REPEAT] twice at the same position.
When the repeat portion is set, you can use the following
functions to edit your recorded track data.
• Copying the repeat portion (p. 67)
• Moving the repeat portion (p. 70)
• Erasing the repeat portion (p. 73)
Before using these functions, you can use the quantize
function to set the repeat portion with accurate timing.
