banks Maj-1 – Maj-3 and min-1 – min-3 (default: Maj-1).
"Maj" is a major scale, and "min" is a natural minor scale.
The number following Maj or min indicates the range in
units of an octave.

You can specify the shortest note value to be recorded, and
the length and time signature of the rhythm pattern, and
then record your performance on the pads.
Setting the minimum note value unit
(quantization)
With the initial settings, your performance on the pads will
be aligned to the closest 16th note when it is recorded in a
rhythm pattern. In a context like this, the minimum note
value that is recorded is called the "quantization." The
quantization can be changed as follows.
1.
Make sure that the [PATTERN] key is lit, and
press the [RHYTHM] key.
The [RHYTHM] key will light, and the rhythm pattern
screen will appear.
A rhythm pattern can be recorded or edited only when the
[RHYTHM] key is lit.
2.
Press the [EDIT] key.
A screen will appear in which you can edit the rhythm
pattern settings. (This is called the "rhythm pattern edit
menu.")
3.
Use the cursor [
E
]/[
R
] keys to make the display
read "EDIT QUANTIZ," and press the [ENTER] key.
The current quantization setting will be displayed. The
display has the following significance.
4:
quarter note
8:
8th note
12:
8th note triplet
16:
16th note (default setting)
24:
16th note triplet
32:
32nd note
Hi:
one tick (no quantization)
One tick is a length corresponding to 1/48th of a quarter
note.
This setting is common to all rhythm patterns.

[EXIT] key.
The new setting will be finalized, and you will return to the
rhythm pattern edit menu.
