Recording a Song

• Resolution determines the timing value the quantize function will use to shift the notes you want
to quantize. For example, setting a quarter note resolution will shift all of the quantized notes to
the nearest quarter beat. Setting an eighth note resolution will shift all of the quantized notes to
the nearest eighth beat and so on. In the Advanced Recorder, quantize values are expressed in
note values and as a number that indicates how many clock beats each note value contains. The
Advanced Recorder divides each beat in a bar into 96 smaller clock beats. A Quarter note is 96
clock beats, an eighth note is 48 clock beats, and a sixteenth note is 24 clock beats and so on.
The quantize resolution range is from quarter notes (96 clocks), to 64th note triplets (4 clocks).
Quantize
Quantize automatically shifts the timing of a note. This can be used to correct imperfect timing in
a performance by shifting notes that were played either too early or too late so they will fall exactly
on the correct beat. For example, you can accurately align any out of time notes to the nearest 8th-
or 16th-note beat depending on the type of song you are quantizing. Sometimes quantizing all of
your notes to exactly the same beat can make your playing sound too stiff. The Advanced Recorder
quantize function allows you to set a quantize “Range” so only the notes that were very early or late
are quantized. Notes that were almost perfect are not quantized thus keeping more of the original
feeling in your music.
