And here's what quantization really means in the Remix Deck context: the Quantize Value does
not represent the amount of beats it will take before a Sample starts playing, therefore, it is
not a "delay" value; the Quantize Value represents a mark in the Remix Deck's internal timeline
(such as a bar line on a sheet of music). E.g., when the Quantize Value is set to 4, a Sample
you hit will start playing with the next 4/4 bar of the Remix Deck's internal timeline!
It's a good idea to experiment around with Quantize Values. Depending on the scenario,
you will often want to keep the values long (four beats, eight beats, or even longer) to
keep your musical phrases synced up. But for rapid changes between sounds, and a
more "active" remixing, try for values of one beat or less.
Tapping the QUANT (EDIT) button once will toggle the Quantization on/off.

3.4.4 Muting, and Tweaking Volume and Filter
To mute Sample Slots, and tweak volume and filter settings:
1. Hit all four pads in the third row (pads A3-D3). Note the pads are all blue on this page of
the tutorial Remix Set. All four sounds should be playing together.
2. Below the pads there are the orange Mute (STOP) buttons. They should all be lit up right
now because all of the slots are audible. Tapping on them will toggle them on or off, mut-
ing/unmuting the sound in the corresponding Sample Slots. Mute Sample Slots 1, 3, and
4 so that you can only hear the Sample playing in Sample Slot 2.
3. At the top of the F1, grab the second Filter knob and twist it slowly back and forth to pro-
duce filter sweeps.
4. Now unmute Sample Slot 3 by hitting its Mute (STOP) button, and then lower the Volume
fader.
5. Continue to unmute and adjust the filter and volume settings of the other Sample Slots.
