SONG MODE
Summary: This operation adjusts the timing of each
event in the specified measures of the track to
the nearest interval of the specified value. This
can be used to move inaccurately played notes
precisely onto the beat
Procedure:
From: song edit job directory 2 (JUMP #606)
Select: 01:Quantz (JUMP #607)
Specify: the area of track measures you wish to
quantize and set the parameters.
Press: a track select button 1-15 to select a
track.
To execute: the operation press ENTER.
To quit: without executing press EXIT.
Gate Time (on, off): Specify whether or not the
gate time (duration of the note) should be quan-
tized. If you set this "on", the gate time of each
note will also be adjusted to the nearest quan-
tize value you specify.
Quantize: The following diagram shows how a track
recorded in realtime and played with inaccurate
timing would change as a result of quantizing at
1/04 and at 1/08.

Gate time: The following diagram shows how the
Gate Time setting will affect the quantized
results.
Top Measure (001...999): Specify the first mea-
sure to be affected.
Last Measure (001...999): Specify the last
measure to be affected.
Quantize (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/12, 1/16, 1/24, 1/32):
Specify the timing interval to which the notes
will be quantized. For example if the shortest
note value should be a 16th note, specify 1/16. If
the music contains triplets, you should use a
quantization of 1/12, or 1/24.
Note-on timing of original data
When quantized at 1/04,
Gate Time = off
... the note length remains
the same
When quantized at 1/04,
Gate Time = on
... the note length is quantized
to a quarter note
Summary: This operation modifies the gate times
(durations) of all notes in specified measures of
the selected track. Gate times can be modified
by a ratio or by an absolute value.
Procedure:
From: song edit job directory 2 (JUMP #606)
Select: 02:MdfGate (JUMP #608)
Specify: the area of track measures for which
you wish to modify gate time and set
the parameters.
Press: a track select button 1-15 to select a
track.
To execute: the operation press ENTER.
To quit: without executing press EXIT.
