This corrects minor

timing problems. It

shifts the notes whose

timing is not exactly

right to the nearest

“correct” unit.

Always select a resolu-

tion value that is fine

enough to accept all

note values you play. If

the shortest notes of

your accompaniment

are 1/16th-note trip-

lets, set the value to

“1/16T”.

The preset value, “1/

16”, is OK for most sit-

uations. If you do not

want to quantize your

playing while record-

ing, set this parameter

to “Off”.

You can also quantize

the track after record-

ing it (page 94).

Count In Off, 1Meas,

2Meas, Wait

Note

Specifies how long the

count-in should be

before recording starts.

Off: No count-in.

Recording starts as

soon as you press the

[START/STOP] button

(while [AUDIO REC]

flashes).

1Meas: Recording

starts after a 1-bar

count-in.

2Meas: Recording

starts after a 2-bar

count-in.

Wait Note: Recording

starts as soon as you

play a note on the key-

board. (There will be no

count-in.)

Measure

Length***

Off, 1~136 Specifies the number

of bars the pattern

should contain. The

setting range is 1~136

(or more, depending

on the time signature)

and “Off”. Select “Off”

if you haven’t decided

how long the pattern

should be. In that case,

the length is set when

you stop recording.

It is perfectly possible

to specify a different

length value for each

track and Division.

Parameter Setting Explanation

Rec Mode Replace, Mix Replace: Everything

you record replaces the

data of the selected

track. This mode is

automatically selected

when you activate the

record function for a

track that does not yet

contain data. If you

select a track that

already contains data,

this parameter is set to

“Mix” but could be

changed to “Replace” if

you wanted to over-

write the previous ver-

sion.

Mix: The data you

record are added to

the existing data of the

selected track.

[*] The AccDrums track can only use Drum Sets (only the TONE

[DRUMS] button is available for this track). On the other hand,

you can use a second (or third) drum track by assigning the value

111 to control change CC00 of the Acc1~Acc6 track(s). See “Ed-

iting individual rhythm events (Micro Edit)” on p. 104. You can,

however, turn any Acc1~6 track into an additional drum track

when you start recording.

The AccBass track, however, can only be used for bass parts.

[**] You can use one clone function that allows you to record one

part and copy it to up to three Modes each. The “=” sign means

that more than one pattern will be recorded.

[***] Every rhythm pattern must have a set length. Setting the

“Measure Length” value now will help you avoid a lot of confu-

sion once you start recording.

The Arranger tends to add blank bars at the end of a track, which

is usually due to the fact that you stopped recording a little late

(i.e. after the last bar you played). This means that you often

“record” 5 measures instead of 4, for example:

Furthermore, in Rhythm Composer mode, all patterns are looped

and played back until you press the [START/STOP] button. A

wrong number of measures (5 rather than 4, for example) is very

likely to put you off, so do take the time to set the pattern length

before you start recording.

Parameter Setting Explanation

If you press [START/STOP] after bar 4…

…your rhythm looks like this (5 bars):
