Editing Data for each Channel

To set the following parameters, call up the CHANNEL page in step #4 of the Basic Procedure on page 121.
1
Select a menu.
Executes the operation for the dis-
3
played page. After the operation
(with the exception of the SETUP
page) is completed, this button
changes to [UNDO], letting you
restore the original data if you are
not satisfied with the Operation
results. The Undo function only
has one level; only the previous
operation can be undone.
■ Quantize (set in step #2 above)
Quantize lets you "clean up" or "tighten" the timing of a previously
recorded track. For example, the following musical passage has been
written with exact quarter-note and eighth-note values.
When actually recording the passage in real time, however, you may not
play it with perfect accuracy. Quantize allows you to align all the notes
so that the timing is absolutely accurate to the specified note value.

This lets you delete recorded data of the specified channel in the song data. Select the channel to be
deleted by using the upper/lower LCD [1]–[8] buttons and press the [EXECUTE] LCD button.

desired.

Determines which MIDI channel in the song data is to be quantized.
Selects the quantize size (resolution). Set the Quantize size to correspond to the shortest note
value in the channel you are working with. For example, if the data was recorded with both
quarter notes and eighth notes, use 1/8 note for the Quantize size. If you apply a 1/4 note
Quantize size, the eighth notes would be moved on top of the quarter notes.

The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they
allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time, without compromising the quanti-
zation of either one. For example, if you have both straight 1/8 notes and 1/8 note triplets recorded
to the same channel, and you quantize to straight 1/8 notes, all notes in the channel are quantized
to straight 1/8 notes—completely eliminating any triplet feel in the rhythm. However, if you use the
1/8 note + 1/8 note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.
Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. If a value less than 100% is selected,
notes will be moved toward the specified quantization beats only by the specified amount. Ap-
plying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the "human" feel in the recording.

CAUTION
After you've finished creating/editing a
song, make sure to execute the Save
operation. The recorded song will be lost
if you change to another song or you
turn the power off without executing the
save operation.
