n Chord basicsA chord consists of three or more notes played together. The most commonchord is the triad consisting of three notes: root, third and fifth of the corre‐sponding scale. The C-major chord, for example, is formed from the notes C(root), E (the third note of the C major scale) and G (the fifth note of the C majorscale). In the shown chord C major, the lowest note is the root note (this is thebasic form of the chord - if you play other notes of the chord as the lowest note,this is called 'chord inversion'). The root note is the central tone of the chord onwhich the other chord notes are based. The distance (interval) between adjacentnotes and the root note determines whether the result will be a third major orminor.

n Chordal structureThe lower interval in our triad (between the root and third) determines whetherthe result will be a major or minor triad. In addition, we can get the highest noteby a half step up or down to create two additional chords.The basic characteristic of the triad is obtained, even if we change the order ofnotes to create different inversions. Successive chords can be linked together in asoft chord progression, e.g. by selecting appropriate chord inversions (also called'voicings').

8.7.4.4 Style quantization

If you timing-wise did not manage to record as accurately as you would have liked to,the quantization helps to correct timing errors by adjusting the notes exactly to thebeat. We recommend you to choose the shortest note you've played as the basis forthe quantization. If you choose a lower accuracy, such as a quarter note, althoughyou've played sixteenth notes as well, the shorter notes could thereby be filtered out.

1. Select the user style that should be quantized. Press the [FUNCTION/NEXT]button to open the selection menu. Use the jog dial or the buttons [+/YES] or[–/NO] to select the option ‘Quantify’ (this menu is not selectable if the userstyle does not contain data).
