260 Chapter 5. PATTERN MODE
Job 01 Quantize
7. Pattern Jobs
• This job quantizes note events over a specified segment of
the specified user phrase. Quantizing is the process of ad-
justing the timing of note events by pulling them closer to
the nearest interval boundary (or quantizing line). You can
use this feature, for example, to improve the timing of a
phrase you recorded in real time.
• For full information about this job’s parameters and opera-
tion, refer to the explanation for the SONG-mode version
of the job, on page 142. Note the following differences,
however: the PATTERN-mode job applies to a user phrase
rather than a sequence track, and the maximum segment
length is 256 measures.
1. Phrase
• The Phrase value selects the user phrase to be quantized.
