machinedrum quantization?

[amatsov]

can somebody please explain how can I turn quantization off?

[cartesia]

Unless there is a way to set a delay/offset for each step, there is no 'off'

can somebody please explain how can I turn quantization off?

You can't, it either locks to it's own internal tempo or to an external tempo. You can do TAP tempo though.

[amatsov]

yeah...but I want to make a beat thats not 4/4...and I cant figure out how to make one.
it makes quantization so its not what I tapped in.

[Syn303]

So you want make beats like 3/4 (triplet time etc), FUNCTION+SCALE, then you can alter your scale ie 12/16 for 3/4, and if you have the latest OS in, you can add shuffle, by moving the cursor right to where it say 1x, use the cursor down key to get either 3/4 or 3/2, or up for shuffle 1x or 2x. If that doesn't satisfy your needs, sell your MD and get an MPC.

thanks syn, thats the info I wanted!

Or you can sequence it via midi....

for the record that's not turning quantization off, it's changing the time signature..

most step sequencers can't turn off quantization, but most can change the time signature.
