Measure, for (Edit Range)
Check/modify the range of measures that are to be quantized. If you
set for to ALL, all measures will be specified.
Type (Quantize Type)
Specifies the Quantize range.
Value
GRID: Grid Quantize will be applied to recording. Since the notes
will be adjusted to the timing of the specified note value, you can use
this when you want drums or bass (for example) to play in an
accurate rhythm.
fig.10-05.e
SHUFFLE: Shuffle Quantize will be applied to recording. Use this
when you want to produce a shuffle or swing rhythmic feel.

Grid Resolution
This parameter is used when Grid Quantize is selected. Specifies
quantization time interval as a note value. Choose a Resolution that
matches the smallest note in the area youre quantizing.
Value: , , , , , ,
Strength (Grid Quantize Strength)
This parameter is used when Grid Quantize is selected. This
parameter specifies a percentage of how note timing will be
corrected toward the timing interval that is specified by the
Resolution parameter. With a setting of 100%, the note will move
all the way to the nearest timing interval of the Grid Resolution
setting. A setting of 0% will not change note timing at all.
Shuffle Resolution
This parameter is used when Shuffle Quantize is selected. Specifies
quantization time interval as a note value.
Value: ,
Rate (Shuffle Quantize Rate)
This parameter is used when Shuffle Quantize is selected. Specifies
how far apart you want a down-beat specified by the Shuffle
Resolution parameter to be from the up-beat that immediately
follows. By shifting the timing of an up-beat, you can create a
swing feel. A setting of 50% will place the timing of the up-beat
note at the exact mid point between the down-beat and the next
down-beat. A setting of 0% will move the up-beat note to the same
timing as the previous down-beat. A setting of 100% will move it
to the same timing as the following down-beat.
fig.11-14.e
Range
Specifies the range of note numbers to be quantized.
For example, if you want to quantize the notes between C3 and C4,
specify C3C4. You can also specify the key range by pressing
keys on the keyboard.
Channel (MIDI Channel)
Specifies the MIDI channel(s) of the notes to be quantized.
If you wish to quantize all notes, set this parameter to ALL. When
quantizing only the notes of a specific MIDI channel, select that
channel.
Value: ALL, 116

Preview Function
The Preview function allows you to hear how quantizing will
work while you are still setting Quantize parameters (before
you execute operation). This is called the Preview function. If
you modify parameter values during preview playback, the
next preview playback will include those latest value changes.
Try various parameter settings to find the one that works best.
Pattern Call events assigned to a phrase track or muted
phrase tracks cannot be previewed.
Pressing [STOP/PLAY] when the Track Edit (Quantize)
window is displayed selects Preview mode. The two measures
from the current location of the song will play back repeatedly.
The preview start location can also be specified by pressing
[FWD] or [BWD]. To exit Preview mode, press [STOP/PLAY]
once again.
