Direct Entry in the Data Field
The quantization value can be entered using the VALUE Slider/Buttons or Direct Entry. For Direct Entry, press and hold the letter button below the Data field while using the numeric pad to enter the numbers shown in the table below:
 

Such exact shifting can result in mechanical-sounding music. What if you'd like to "tighten up" your sequence, but not go all the way to the nearest 8th note? The Intensity parameter (button G) lets you specify how much to move towards the nearest 8th note. Going all the way is 100%, not moving at all is 0%. If you set an Intensity of 50%, you will move half-way towards the nearest Resolution note.

Offset (button F) will shift all MIDI events by the number of ticks you specify. For example, if you are sequencing at 96 ticks per quarter-note, an offset of 48 means everything would be shifted right (later) by an 8th note. An offset of -24 would shift everything left (earlier) by a 16th note.

If you specify both Intensity and an Offset, here's what happens:
1. The 01 finds the nearest Resolution note (for example, the nearest 8th note).
2. The 01 calculates a new destination by adding the Offset to that nearest note.
3. The 01 moves your MIDI event towards (or away from) that destination by the Intensity percentage.

For Example:
Suppose Track 2 is always late by a 16th note. This means you want to shift all of Track 2 left (earlier) by 24 ticks. (There are probably 96 ticks for each quarter-note unless you changed something by mistake. If there are 96 ticks for a quarter-note, then there are 48 ticks for an 8th note, and 24 ticks for a 16th note.) To actually do the shift, try these steps:

1. Make sure we are on Sequence Mode Page 6, on the top line (0 clicks)
2. Press button A and enter the Track number you want to change.
3. Press button B and enter the measure you want to start quantizing (to start at the beginning, move the VALUE slider all the way down)
4. Press button C and enter the measure you want to stop quantizing (to quantize the entire track, move the slider all the way up.
5. Press button D and specify what type of MIDI data you want to quantize. The default is "ALL" MIDI data. If you only want to shift Damper data, click the VALUE UP button twice to specify "Control" data.
6. Press button E and specify the type of Note you want to quantize to.
7. Press button F and specify the Offset (the number of ticks you want to shift the track). To shift one 16th note earlier, enter -24.
8. Press button G and specify the percentage of quantizing you want.
9. Press button H to execute the quantization.

That should do it.

If there is a Pattern within the range of measures you specify, you will be asked if you want to open the pattern. Answering "yes" will cause the pattern to be converted to actual notes in the measures, and the modification will be carried out on those notes.

You can reduce all the velocities by a set percentage by setting the Intensity to something less than 100% (velocity value settings don't matter).

If there is a Pattern within the range of measures you specify, you will be asked if you want to open the pattern. Answering "yes" will cause the pattern to be converted to actual notes in the measures, and the modification will be carried out on those notes.

If you modify in error, press the COMPARE button to see the original values.

Cautions:
1. If you erase a Damper Off or Pitch Bend (0) MIDI command, stuck notes can result. Either erase the beginning of the MIDI command, or go to Event Edit and insert new Damper Off or Pitch Bend (0) commands.

1. Press "B" (Trk##) to specify the track number where you want the measure inserted.

2. Press "C" (M###) to specify the measure where you want a blank to be inserted. The measure number you enter will be the first blank measure. For example, if measure 3 held data, and you inserted a measure starting with measure 3, the new measure 3 would be blank.

You may also notice the display changes to show you which measures contain data. Each thin dash (or hyphen) is empty, while each thick dash/hyphen contains data. The measure number you enter above the "B" button appears as the dash in the top-left corner. This is a quick way to confirm an insert has taken place after you execute the INSERT command.

3. Press "D" (L###) to specify how many blank measures you want inserted. The default is "001".

4. Press "E" or "F" (**/**) to specify the time signature of the new blank measures. For example, you can insert two measures of 6/8 in the middle of a track full of 4/4 measures.

The default is "**/**". This means the blank measures will take the time signature of the same measures existing in other tracks.

5. Press "G" or "H" ([INSERT]) to actually insert the measure(s).

If all went well, the display will show the message "Completed".

Notes:
1. If a note was held across the measure where you insert a blank measure, the held note will be split into two notes.

2. If you try to insert measures into a Pattern which was "Put" into this track, you will be asked if you want to "open the pattern". Answer yes or no depending on what you want.

3. If you [INSERT} by mistake, press the COMPARE button to return the track(s) to what they were before you executed the [INSERT] command.
 

2. If you press PUT or COPY again, you will PUT or COPY again. This is a cute way of saying be careful not to let your finger bounce on G or H, or you will accidentally insert another Pattern, erasing what was in the measures before.

3. If you PUT or COPY by accident, you can recover the lost data by pressing COMPARE.
