[. . . ] The center of the screen shows the parameter name, as well as the parameter's numerical value for the currently selected track (the last track at which you operated a knob or pad). The twelve track meters indicate the selected parameter's value on each track. If the selected parameter supports a QUANTIZE or RESOLUTION setting, then this setting also appears (as a note image) in the NOTE area of the screen.

QUANTIZE or RESOLUTION setting (see below). 194 Chapter 8 Knob Functions Note that the knob function buttons operate during all four sequencer modes. Function switching is disabled only while you are working at a job screen or while you are recording a sample. NOTE: When you are working at a function screen, as described above, all knobs control the currently selected function. When you are working at the main screen, however, each knob controls the function assigned to it by the TRACK SET | MAIN job. For general information about the difference between the main screen and function screens, see pages 25 and 144. 8. 2 Knob Settings for Each Track Although 22 knob parameters are provided, not all tracks can store or accept settings for all parameters. The number of usable parameters depends on the track type, on various job settings, and on the effect configuration. Details are provided in the explanations below. For reference, you may want to note that the maximum number of settings supported by each track type are as follows. Track Type LOOP COMP. LOOP and FREE AUDIO IN MASTER Supported Parameters All 22 parameters 21 parameters (All except SOUND/LENGTH) 5 parameters: SOUND/LEVEL, SOUND/PAN and all EFFECT settings 9 parameters: SOUND/LEVEL, SOUND/PAN, all EQ settings and all EFFECT settings Chapter 8 Knob Functions 195 CHAPTER 8 Chapter 8 Knob Functions 8. 3 Quantize and Resolution Some of the knob functions support a QUANTIZE setting, while several others support a RESOLUTION setting. QUANTIZE Setting The quantize setting determines the interval at which the SU700 sequencer records knob and pad input. For a detailed explanation of quantizing, refer to "Using Quantizing, " on page 174. Quantizing is applied to the SOUND/LEVEL, SOUND/PAN, SOUND/PITCH, and FILTER/CUTOFF knob functions, and to pad presses entered while the pad function is set to PLAY, ON/MUTE, or LOOP RESTART. Pressing any of these knob-function or pad-function selectors causes the NOTE area of the screen to display the quantizing interval. You can then change the interval by holding down the [NOTE] button (so that the quantize area of the screen is blinking) and turning the dial. Remember that the QUANTIZE setting is meaningful only on new knob and pad actions that you input while recording a song. Quantizing has no affect on data that you have already recorded. RESOLUTION Settings The GROOVE knob functions utilize a resolution setting that determines the groove interval. A number of effects also utilize a resolution setting. Groove Resolution: When you press any of the GROOVE function buttons, the current groove resolution setting for the most recently accessed track appears in the NOTE area of screen. This setting determines the groove interval used on that track. For detailed information, refer to the explanation of the GROOVE TIMING function, below.
