15: Quantize Song Data
This function “quantizes” song memory data that has already been recorded to disk. This means that all notes are aligned
to the nearest specified beat, thereby “tightening up” the overall timing.

Make sure that the disk containing the song you want to quantize is loaded in the
Clavinova disk drive, and that the song to be quantized is selected.

Quantize the Data ...................................................................................................................................
Press the [START/STOP] button to begin quantization. During quantization the
number of the measure being quantized will appear in the lower right corner of the
display. The Quantize Song Data function will automatically be exited when the data
has been quantized.
NOTES
• Once quantized, song data cannot be returned to its original “free” form. It is there-
fore a good idea to make a backup copy of the data before using this function.
• Only song data created by the CVP-89, CVP-87A, CVP-85A or CVP-83S can be
quantized. Data converted by the Convert to DOC function (page 52) or Convert to
SMF function (page 53) cannot be quantized.
• Only note and voice data is quantized.
