Editing SongsAligning a Song’s Timing(Quantize)In the chapter “Recording Songs” (p. 168), we explainedRecording Quantize, which lets you quantize during realtimerecording. Alternatively, it is also possible to quantize a song thathas already been recorded.The Fantom-X has a Preview function that allows playing back theresults of a Quantize operation while you are still setting parameters(before actual execution). This helps to make optimal Quantizesettings.Quantize TypeSpecifies the Quantize range.ValueGRID: Grid Quantize will be applied to recording. Since thenotes will be adjusted to the timing of the specifiednote value, you can use this when you want drumsor bass (for example) to play in an accurate rhythm.fig.18-005.eGrid quantize with Resolution = The Quantize operation will correct only the timing at whichnotes were pressed (note-on) and released (note-off), and willnot correct any other sequencer data. This means that if yourecord MIDI messages such as bend range or modulation alongwith notes, quantization can cause the notes to go out of syncwith the MIDI messages, skewing timing. To avoid suchproblems it is better to record non-keyboard data afterward,using mix recording, etc.fig.19-009_50SHUFFLE:fig.18-006.eTEMPLATE:Shuffle Quantize will be applied to recording. Usethis when you want to produce a “shuffle” or“swing” rhythmic feel.Shuffle quantize with Rate = 75%The Fantom-X provides 71 quantize templates.These templates contain various quantize settingsfor applying rhythmic ‘feels’ of many differentmusical categories. Select the template you want forquantization.For details on the settings, refer to “Basic Operation for TrackEditing” (p. 180)Track / PatternSets the phrase track(s) or pattern that is to be quantized.ValueTRK ALL: Phrase tracks 1–16TRK 1–TRK 16: The specified phrase trackPTN001–PTN100: The specified patternCh / PartSpecifies the MIDI channel(s) of the notes to be quantized.If you wish to quantize all notes, set this parameter to “ALL.” Whenquantizing only the notes of a specific MIDI channel, select thatchannel.Value:ALL, Ch1–Ch16Measure, For (Edit Range)Sets the range of measures that are to be quantized. If you set “For”to “ALL,” all measures will be specified.* If your sequencer data notes are too far off from accurate time,Template Quantize may not work that efficiently so you won’t achievethe desired results. If this is the case, apply Grid Quantize to yoursequencer data first to lose timing mistakes.Resolution (Grid Quantize Resolution)This parameter is used when Grid Quantize is selected. Specifiesquantization time interval as a note value. Choose a Resolution thatmatches the smallest note in the area you’re quantizing.Value: , , , , , ,Strength (Grid Quantize Strength)This parameter is used when Grid Quantize is selected. Thisparameter specifies a percentage of how note timing will becorrected toward the timing interval that is specified by theResolution parameter. With a setting of “100%,” the note will moveall the way to the nearest timing interval of the Grid Resolutionsetting. A setting of “0%” will not change note timing at all.Resolution (Shuffle Quantize Resolution)This parameter is used when Shuffle Quantize is selected. Specifiesquantization time interval as a note value.Value: ,181
