Tempo
You can set the song tempo at which you wish to record your performance.
Quantize
Quantization is a function that corrects any small deviations in the timing of your
performance. The DTX502 can make recordings quantized based on a specified
note length. The available quantization settings are as follows.
When 3/8, 6/8, 9/8, 12/8, or 15/8 is set as the time signature:
á, , Ö, ÖA, Ü, ÜA, or off
When a time signature other than the above is set:
, A, Ö, ÖA, Ü, ÜA, or off
