IMPORTANT:

If you switch from a higher quantize rate to a lower one, only the notes occuring

on the new beats will remain-all other notes will be cleared. For example, if

you have programmed a part at a quantize rate of 1/32, the Beat Exchange

function will switch the quantize rate to 1/16, and all notes which originally

appeared on beats 2, 4, 6, 8 etc. will be erased. This will affect all instruments

simultaneously.

Let’s look at what happens to a 2/4 time hi-hat pattern, programmed at 1/32 quantize

rate, when we perform the Beat Exchange function.

QUANTIZE AT 1/32

BEAT EXCHANGE TO 1/16

All the notes originally occurring on even-numbered beats have gone-permanently.

It is safer, then, to use the Beat Exchange function for switching from a lower

quantize rate to a higher one, so that you can add rhythmic subtleties rather than

remove them.

Beat Exchange (Example: on pattern 00)

1 2 ... 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 ... 61 62
