quantum - controls how notes align to the grid (essential for tight beats or loose grooves)

open timing settings: press [quantum]

quantize mode (Q) - notes snap to grid:

• use [-/+] to set resolution
• 1/16 is standard for most beats
• 1/8T for triplet feels
• 1/32 for detailed hi-hat patterns

free mode (FREE) - no snapping:

• press [-/+] to toggle between Q and FREE
• notes record exactly as you play them
• good for human feel, but can get messy

swing - shuffle your beat:

• x-knob: resolution
• y-knob: swing amount (0 = straight, higher = more shuffle)

note repeat - instant rolls: hold [quantum] + press a pad

• repeats at current resolution
• great for hi-hat rolls, snare fills
• record while holding for instant patterns
