dicator will continue flashing. Go on recording your right
hand.
When done, start recording your left hand, with the PART 1
indicator flashing, and the PART 2 indicator steadily on. This
way, you will be recording your left hand to Part 1, while Part
2 will be playing back the recorded right hand.
Quantization is a
way of correcting
timing errors; notes
played too soon or
too late are moved
to the nearest axis
of a
"grid", set with this parameter, thus playing perfectly in
time. For example, when you select 1/16, all notes are
moved to the nearest 1/16 division. When you select 1/8,
all notes are moved to the nearest 1/8 division.
Beware that choosing too low a value will over-correct,
and make everything sound mechanical.
