Explanation
Play Quantize will not be applied.
The data will be adjusted toward intervals of the
beat specified by the Grid Quantize Resolution
parameter.
Shuffle Quantization will be applied. Notes will be
adjusted forward or backward toward intervals of
the beat specified by the Shuffle Quantize
Resolution parameter, by the amount specified
by Shuffle Rate.
This adds a “shuffle” or “swing” character to the
rhythm.
A quantize template will be applied. By choosing
one of 71 quantization settings, you can easily
modify the beat in a wide variety of ways. In
addition to various shuffle templates, these also
include templates that use velocity to create a
rhythm feel (Groove Quantize).
Strength (Quantize strength)
Sets the strength of quantization that will be applied to
the notes specified by the Grid Quantize Resolution
parameters. Higher value of this parameter will cause
notes to be adjusted more closely toward the rhythmic
intervals specified by Grid Quantize Resolution.
Range:0%–
•
A setting of 100 produces the strongest effect; at a setting
of 0 no correction will be applied.

note value that occurs in the region you want to quantize.

When Quantize Type=Shuffle, this specifies how far
away the “backbeat” notes (relative to the Shuffle
Quantize Resolution setting) will be from the downbeats.
You can create a sense of swing by shifting the timing of
the backbeats. With a setting of 50%, the backbeats will
be exactly between the preceding and following
downbeats. With a setting of 0%, the backbeats will be
moved to the same timing as the preceding downbeat.
With a setting of 100%, the backbeats will be moved to
the same timing as the following downbeat.

Explanation
Newly recorded data will be added to the
previously-recorded data.
By using this in conjunction with loop recording,
you can repeatedly overdub a specified region.
For example, you can use this method to record
the individual instruments of a drum
performance one by one, like this: bass drum
123 snare drum → hi-hat.
If you enter an identical note event at the same
timing as a previously entered note event, the
velocity of the existing event will be replaced by
the new velocity.
Newly recorded data will replace the
previously-recorded data. Use this when you
want to re-record.
Explanation
Recording will begin the instant you press
[PLAY ()]. (There will be no count.)
Recording will begin after a two-measure count.
