■ Quantize
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.

Even though you think you may have recorded the passage accurately, your actual performance 
may be slightly ahead of or behind the beat (or both!). Quantize allows you to align all the notes 
in a track so that the timing is absolutely accurate to the specified note value.

● About Quantize size
Set the Quantize size to correspond to the smallest notes in the track you are working with. For example, 
if the data was recorded with both quarter notes and eighth notes, use 1/8 for the quantize value. If the 
quantize function is applied in this case with the value set to 1/4, the eighth notes would be moved on 
top of the quarter notes. 

Press this to quantize the data. 

This 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.

Select the Quantize size (resolution). 
See below for details.

Select the track to be quantized.
