—QUANTIZE Applied to the Step-Write Mode—
In the step write mode, the quantize function can save
programming time by minimizing the number of steps
required to enter each part. If, for example, QUANTIZE
is set to 1/16, the beat count will proceed from 1 to 16
per bar. This is fine if 1/16th notes are to be entered, but
an 8-beat bass drum line would require entry of several
rests between each drum beat. It would be better to
quantize to 1/8, enter the bass drum line, exit the step
write mode and reset the quantize value to 1/6, then re-
enter the step write mode and program a 16-beat hi-hat
line.

Quantize
Basically, QUANTIZE determines the smallest note-
increments which can be programmed. The available
quantize values are 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/12, 1/16, 1/24, 1/32,
1/48 and 1 /92 note increments-these are the fraction
markings on the white number buttons. If, for example,
QUANTIZE is set to 1/16, then the shortest notes that
can be entered in either the real-time or step-write
modes are 1/16th notes-i.e. the maximum number of
beats that can be entered in one 4/4-time bar is 16.
—QUANTIZE Applied to the Real-Time Write Mode—
In the real-time write mode, this has an “error
correcting” function. In other words if your timing while
playing your pattern on the instrument keys is a little off,
the off-time beats will be recorded at the nearest
quantized beat. Thus, while simple patterns containing no
more than 8 beats of any one instrument per measure
will record with precise timing if quantize is set to 1/8.
Subtle syncopations and rhythmic variations will only be
recorded if quantize is set to 1/32 or even 1/48. Setting
quantize to 1/192 records your pattern exactly as played.
It is possible to quantize different instruments or groups
of instruments at different values. Simply record the
appropriate parts at value A, then exit the real-time write
mode, reset the quantize value to B, then re-enter real-
time write and add more parts.

Changing the quantize value also facilitates programming
of complex rhythm lines. For example, 2-beat triplet
snare fills could be added to an 8-beat pattern as
follows:

QUANTIZE at 1/8 OUANTIZE at 1/2
Subtle rhythm variations within a pattern can also be
easily programmed by programming certain instruments
at extremely fine quantize values.
