Step Edit 2500, is Akai Stupid or is it just me?

so in the step edit, how come you can only fine point edit till 1.01.95? im talking about the .95. when you scroll right any more than that or want to put in any value such as .96,.97,.98,.99, etc. it just skips straight to the next downbeat ie 01.02.00. ? i just need to move my shit as accurate as possible.

good looks

clock resolution is 96 ticks per quarter note.

why wouldn't it be 100 till the next quarter note? its just weird that it would start at 0, and end at 96?
no wonder quantize 1/8th notes are .48 instead of .50.

so a perfect 8th note would be at .48 instead of .50? that is so weird..

aiite, i think i got it. there are 96 edits in each quarter note. i think they did this because 96 is dividable by 2 (1/8thnote), 4 (1/16thnote), 3 (1/8thnotetriplet), 6 (1/16thnotetriplet), etc. it makes the dividing without any decimals.
you may ask why im analyzing, but my major is violin. i got the music theory down, chord prog, scales, rythms, but im trying to see how this all applies to what goes on an mpc screen via step edit.

word

You figured it out. No sweat. That shit boggled me at first too.

if u wanna be extra confused, double the tempo and play half time.

basically, doubling the resolution, making it 192 ppq (parts per quarternote)

Yeah, if you double tempo and play half time, quantising at 1/8 is actually quantising 1/16, quantising at 1/32 is actually 1/64

my head is spinning...
