Quantize is used to quantize your performance as you record it in. However, you may wish to
record without quantization and go back and quantize at a later point. To do this, use the
Quantize function in the Track editor, as described on page 12-36.
Grid
This setting determines the size of the Input Quantize grid expressed as a fraction of a Bar with
a 4/4 meter. Set Grid to 1/1 for whole note grid, 1/16 for sixteenth notes. All of the standard
note durations and every fractional Bar divisions in-between (including triplets, e.g., 1/12=1/
8tr, 1/24=1/16tr, etc.) are available as the size of the Input Quantize grid. You can select
commonly used Grid values by double-pressing the Increment/Decrement (+/-) buttons.
Swing
The Swing percentage is applied to the quantize grid. Zero percent swing is straight time, 100%
produces a swing (triplet) feel. A positive Swing value determines how close every other grid
location is moved to a point 1/3 of the way towards the next grid point. Negative Swing moves
every other grid location closer to a point 1/3 of the way towards the previous grid point.
Sync
The Sync parameter is used in conjunction with Clock. It controls transmission and reception of
MIDI sync messages except actual clock. These are the messages it controls: Song Start, Song
Stop, Song Continue, Song Select, and Song Position Pointer.
Clock
SpeciÞes the source clock as being internal or external. When the Clock is set to external, the
K2vx will wait to receive MIDI clock data, via its MIDI In Port, from another device capable of
generating MIDI clock data before playback and real time recording can begin.
Tempo
The Tempo parameter, when set to Fixed, provides a tempo lock feature to override any real
time tempo changes recorded into a sequence. If set to Auto, tempo changes will be respected.
CountOff
Selects the number of bars of countdown, if any, before playback or recording starts. This works
in conjunction with the click, so if the click is Off, the CountOff setting will have no effect. If the
click is set to record only, then the CountOff will only happen when RECORDING.
Click
The Click parameter controls the click behavior. Set to Off, there is no click, and consequently
no CountOff. When it is set to On, a click is present during playback and recording. To have a
click only while RECORDING, set the Click to Rec. The Cnt value means that there will only be
a click during CountOff, if any.
ClickCh
SpeciÞes which MIDI channel will be used for the metronome click.
ClickPrg
If click is in use, ClickPrg speciÞes which Program will be used as the metronome clickÕs sound.
The Click Channel will be locked on to this Program internally, and this program number will
be transmitted via MIDI on the Click Channel to external any device(s) when playback or
record is started.
