Rhythm Track Edit functions

The “Track Edit” level of the Rhythm Composer provides
12 functions: Quantize, Erase, Delete, Copy, Insert, Key,
Change Velo, Change Gate Time, Global Change, Shift
Clock, Track Length and Time Signat. There is also a

or change individual events. See page 99 for details.

Quantize

Use this function if you chose not to quantize your
music during recording and now realize that the tim-
ing is not quite what you expected it to be. If only

certain notes in a given time range need to be quan-
tized, you should narrow down the edit range using
the “From”/“To” parameters.
