Quantize

Quantize is a procedure that rhythmically adjusts notes after they have been played into a sequencer. Quantizing

is an effective way to “correct” notes that may have been played off time. The XP-60 has three types of quantize:

GRID: The timing of the notes will be adjusted to the closest sub-division of a beat or by a

selected percentage (i.e. move all selected notes 87% to the closest eighth note).

SHUFFLE: A triplet “feel” will be applied to the timing of the notes. The amount of shuffle is also determined

by a percentage.

GROOVE: Dynamic and timing changes will be applied to the individual notes by using the selected

GROOVE TEMPLATE. There are 71 PRESET Templates covering various styles of music and

USER Templates for original applications.

Use the following procedure to quantize something that has already been recorded:

1) From the sequencer display, press F2 QUANTIZE.

2) Select the desired method of Quantizing (Grid, Shuffle or Groove) by pressing the appropriate function

button.

3) Use the CURSOR buttons and VALUE DIAL to set the parameters as desired.

4) Cursor to Measure and set the starting measure to quantize. For this example choose 1.

5) Cursor to for and select the number of measures to quantize. For this example choose ALL.

6) Cursor to Channel and select which channel(s) to quantize. For this example choose ALL.

7) Cursor to Note Range to set a range of keys on the keyboard to quantize.

8) Cursor to TRACK and use the DEC/INC buttons to enable (0) or disable (_) the desired tracks to be

quantized.

9) Hold SHIFT and press BWD to return to the beginning of your song.

10) Before executing the quantize, press PLAY to preview the adjustments.
