The current quantize value appears on the display.
“Quantization” refers to the degree of detail with
which notes are recorded. By setting the quantize
value to the shortest note to use for the pattern,
recording can be carried out while automatically
maintaining precise timing. If you select the finest
quantize setting, you can retain the human touch
that is characterized by slightly irregular timing.
