Quantize (Resolution)
Determines the note timing to which the note data will be
aligned. The number shown at right of each value indicates
the length assumes that the quarter-note resolution is 480.
Settings:
n
You can call up the list and select the desired one by pressing
the [SF6] LIST button. For details, see page 37.
3
Strength
Sets the “strength” by which note events are pulled toward the
nearest quantize beats. A setting of 0% results in no change,
whereas a setting of 100% moves note events exactly to the
quantize beats. A setting of 50% results in the note events
being pulled halfway between 0% and 100%.
Settings:
000% – 100%
4
Swing Rate
Delays notes on even-numbered beats (backbeats) to
produce a swing feel. Judicious use of this setting lets you
create swing rhythms and triplet feels, such as shuffle and
bounce.
The functions and settings of this parameter differ
depending on the Quantize resolution setting.
Settings:
Depends on the Quantize (
2
) setting. Refer to the settings
of the Swing parameter in the Play FX display (page 141).
If the Quantize value is 1/4 note, 8th note, 16th note,
32nd note:
For example, if the meter is 4/4 and the quantize value is
quarter notes, the 2nd and 4th beats of the measure will be
delayed. A setting of 100% is equivalent to twice the length of
the specified Quantize value. A setting of 50% produces exact
timing and therefore no swing feel. Settings above 51% delays
the note timing to increase the amount of swing. A setting of
66% moves the notes to a triplet delay, with 75% being
equivalent to a dotted-note delay.
If the Quantize value is 1/4 note triplet, 8th note triplet,
16th note triplet:
When a triplet quantize value is used, the last note of each
triplet is delayed. A setting of 100% is equivalent to twice the
length of the specified Quantize value. A setting of 66%
produces exact timing and therefore no swing feel. Settings
above 67% delays the note timing to increase the amount of
swing. A setting of 75% moves the notes to a dotted-note
delay, with 83% being equivalent to a sextuplet delay.
If the Quantize value is 8th note + 8th note triplet, 16th
note + 16th note triplet:
Even-numbered beats will be delayed. A setting of 100% is
equivalent to twice the length of a 8th note or 16th note. A
setting of 50% produces exact timing and therefore no swing
feel. Settings above 51% delays the note timing to increase the
amount of swing. with 66% being equivalent to a triplet delay.
n
The Swing Rate is applied to notes which are located on
even-numbered beats (backbeats) by setting the Strength
to 100%. If the Strength is set to less than 100%, the
Swing Rate may delay notes not on even-numbered beats
and produce an unexpected rhythm. To prevent this, you
should set Strength to 100% when using the Swing Rate.
5
Gate Time
Determines the gate time (the length of time a note sounds)
of the even-numbered backbeat notes to enhance the
swing feel. When a triplet quantize value is used, the gate
time of the last note of each triplet is adjusted. When the
quantize value is 8th note + 8th note triplet or 16th note +
16th note triplet, the gate time of the even-numbered 8th
note or 16th note beats will be adjusted.
Settings below 100% will shorten the gate times of notes on
even-numbered beats (backbeats), whereas settings
above 100% will lengthen them. If an adjusted gate time
value is less than 1, the value is rounded off to 1.
Settings:
000% – 200%
This Job alters the velocity values of the specified range of
notes, letting you selectively boost or cut the volume of
those notes. Velocity changes are calculated as follows:
Adjusted velocity = (original velocity x Rate) + Offset
If the result is 0 or less, the value is set to 1. If the result is
higher than 127, the value is set to 127.
1
Track and range
Determines the Song track (01 – 16, all) and range
(Measure : Beat : Clock) over which the Job is applied.
2
Set All
Sets the velocities of all target notes to the same fixed
value (1 to 127). When set to “off” the Set All parameter has
no effect. When set to a value other than “off,” the Rate and
Offset parameters below are unavailable and cannot be
set.
Settings:
off, 001 – 127
3
Rate
Determines the percentage by which the target notes will
be shifted from their original velocities. Settings below
100% reduce the velocities, and settings above 100%
increase the velocities proportionately. A setting of 100
produces no change. When the Set All parameter (above)
is set to other than “off,” this parameter cannot be set.
Settings:
000% – 200%
