, , 
3, , 3, , 3. (A 3 denotes a
triplet-type note.)
7.Use the STRENGTH ∧ and ∨ buttons to select
the amount of quantize (%).
•100% is a convenient setting. When set to
100%, the performance data is quantized ex-
actly to the level specified for the VALUE
(“just”). For example, at 50%, the data is quan-
tized to a point that is half that of the just level.
By this setting, you can attain an effect that is
very slightly off-beat from the rhythm.
8.Use the WINDOW ∧ and ∨ buttons to specify
the range (%) affected by the quantize setting.
•With the increment set to 100 for the VALUE,
at a + setting, data close to the just point is
corrected, and at a – setting, data far from the
just point is corrected. For example, if set to
–30% the quantize function affects data far
from the just point, and if set to +30% the
quantize function affects data close to the just
point. +100% is usually a convenient setting.
•The +100% setting and the –100% setting are
the same.
Example: When VALUE is set to
