Chapter 3. About the D-FIELD
Changing the rhythmic feel of a pattern (ASSIGN 2: QUANTIZE)
fig.QTE—
You can change the rhythm feel of the performance data of a pattern. By modifying the timing and velocity (volume) of the notes
in the pattern, you can produce a rhythm feel that is different than that of the original pattern.
fig.Quantize
You can modify the note timing by the location at which you press the D-FIELD.
When TYPE is set to “GROOVE,” you can also modify the velocity by pressing a higher or lower location.
Display Explanation Setting
TYPE Select the type of quantization. OFF, GRID, SHUFFLE, GROOVE
X none Timing Timing (fixed)
Y none Velocity (Only when the type is set to “GROOVE.”) Velocity (fixed)

Making detailed settings
1. Hold down [ASSIGN 2] and press [EDIT].
2. Press [ENTER] to select the desired parameter.
3. Turn [VALUE] to change the setting.
Display Parameter Explanation Setting
When TYPE is “GRID”
TYPE Select the type of quantization. OFF:
Quantize will not be applied.
GRID:
The note timing of the pattern will be corrected toward
the note value specified by the template setting.
SHUFFLE:
The timing of the backbeats of the pattern will be
adjusted to create a “bouncy” feel as in shuffle or
swing.
GROOVE:
The note timing and velocity of the pattern will be
adjusted toward the values specified by the template,
producing a variety of different grooves.
TEMPLATE Specify the note value to which the timing
will be aligned.
32, 16T, 16, 8T, 8, 4T, 4
TIMING Specify the strength of the correction. Higher
settings will cause the timing to be corrected
more precisely (tightly).
When TYPE is “SHUFFLE”
TEMPLATE Specify the note value to which the timing
will be aligned.
TIMING Adjust the amount of swing. With a setting of
“50,” there will be no sense of swing at all.
Normally, a setting in the range of 60–66 will
produce a pleasant shuffle rhythm.
When TYPE is “GROOVE”
TEMPLATE Select the template. *The templates are for a
4/4 time signature. The desired result will not
be obtained for other time signatures.
TIMING Specify the strength of the timing correction.
Higher settings will cause the timing to be adjusted
closer to the timing of the template.
VELOCITY Specify the strength of the velocity correction.
Higher settings will cause the velocity to be
adjusted closer to the velocity of the template.
