1 QUANTIZE
The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you record
the musical phrase shown below, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your performance may have
been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way of correcting for this.
[2 ]/
[3 ]
CHANNEL Determines which MIDI channel in the Song data is to be quantized.
[4 ]–
[6 ]
SIZE Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set
the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if
eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as
the Quantize size.
The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally con-
venient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the
same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth-note
triplets are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the straight
eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight eighth
notes—completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use the
eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes
will be quantized correctly.

[8 ]
STRENGTH Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100%
produces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be
moved toward the specified quantization beats according to the specified
percentage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some
of the “human” feel in the recording.
