Groove quantize

The XP-80 provides 71 quantize templates. These templates

contain various quantize settings for applying rhythmic

‘feels’ of many different musical categories. Select the tem-

plate you want for quantization.

You can also create your own templates and store up to 16 of

them in the XP-80’s internal memory. This lets you incorpo-

rate the ‘feel’ of your favorite songs right away.

✳ If your performance data notes are too far off from

accurate time, Groove Quantize may not work that

efficiently so you won’t achieve the desired results. If

this is the case, apply Grid Quantize to your perfor-

mance data first to lose timing mistakes.

Template (Template number)

Specifies the template you wish to use. PRE:001–071 repre-

sent the 71 templates the XP-80 provides, and USR:001–016

represent user groove templates, if you’ve created them. The

template name you pick will be shown in parentheses ().

✳ At power on or before loading a user groove template,

USR:001–016 are Initial Templates (factory default set-

tings). If you select any of the Initial Templates

USR:001–016 and perform Groove quantization, it will

have no effect.

✳ The preset groove templates are provided for 4/4 time

signature use. They may not produce desired results if

used on other time signature data.

✳ Preset templates are categorized just for reference; Feel

free to experiment using different templates for differ-

ent kinds of music, till you find one that works best

with your music.

Timing Strength

This specifies how much a note will move toward the timing

interval of the template you pick. At a setting of 100%, the

note will be perfectly timed with the template. At a setting of

0%, the note will not move at all.
