refer to the following explanations of each function.

4. Set the parameters for each function. Use [CURSOR] to

move the cursor to the desired parameter, and turn the

VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to set the value. First check

the region that is to be affected by the editing operation, and

then make corrections if you want to change it.

5. Press [8 (Exec)] to execute the operation.

When the operation is completed, the display will briefly
indicate “Completed!”

Aligning a Song’s Timing (Quantize)

In the chapter “Recording Songs” (p. 141), we explained
Recording Quantize, which lets you quantize during realtime
recording. Alternatively, it is also possible to quantize a song that
has already been recorded.

The Fantom-S has a Preview function that allows playing back the
results of a Quantize operation while you are still setting parameters
(before actual execution). This helps to make optimal Quantize
settings.

The Quantize operation will correct only the timing at which notes
were pressed (note-on) and released (note-off), and will not correct
any other sequencer data. This means that if you record MIDI
messages such as bend range or modulation along with notes,
quantization can cause the notes to go out of sync with the MIDI
messages, skewing timing. To avoid such problems it is better to
record non-keyboard data afterward, using mix recording, etc.

For details on the settings, refer to “Basic Operation for Track
Editing”
(p. 151)

Track / Pattern

Sets the phrase track(s) or pattern that is to be quantized.

Value

TRK ALL: Phrase tracks 1–16

TRK 1–TRK 16: The specified phrase track

PTN001–PTN100: The specified pattern

Measure, For (Edit Range)

Sets the range of measures that are to be quantized. If you set “For”
to “ALL,” all measures will be specified.

Quantize Type

Specifies the Quantize range.

Value

GRID: Grid Quantize will be applied to recording. Since the notes
will be adjusted to the timing of the specified note value, you can use
this when you want drums or bass (for example) to play in an
accurate rhythm.
