Karl,
Thank you for the tips, at least I can hear the quantize effect. I
reached my geek quest ;)

Hi,
I had to go through my patches to find some patchs using quatize.
It seems AFAIK the quantize function is most useful when modulating
the frequency of a VCO. As you point out it is hardly noticable on
other modulations.
You can quantize the lag modulations going to the VCOs repete many
times to get a large range. This gives a glisando sound Tomita used
on Planets. " Turn the regular lag off in the main VCO page"
I have also found it useful to quatize square or tri wave LFOs
modulating the VCO frequency. You can get a stepped series of notes
in halfsteps.
If you feel ambitious try several LFOs all set to the same frequency.
Then adjust the re-trigger different for each LFO. This creates a
programmable arpeggio.
I remember using it once on a modulation of an LFO rate to sync
things together. But I can't find this patch.
Hope this helps

I found the differences between these messages. It's only about how
to
activate/desactivate the quantize:
- action=06h "toggle" simply toggles the actual quantize. If it's
ON,
it will go OFF and vice-versa.
- action=05h is set quantize ON or set OFF. Is that simple :)
My question was more about what it does to the *sound*. I tried many
settings (just a VC0, and set quantize to a mod source for VC0 freq,
VCF freq and so on). I do not hear any difference between quantize
ON
or OFF).
This was my question because I'm currently developping a real-time
control/programming software for the XPander. My program do send the
right SysEx message, but I wondered there where no differences in
the
sound itself.
I looked into my SysEx presets and I did not found any preset with a
quantize modulation. strange.
Looks like this option is never used or does nothing at all (?)

In the MIDI implementation, it's possible to enable/disable the
quantize thru a "Modulation edit follows" SysEx message (with
action=05h which is "set quantize on/off"). The same message
with
action=06h is "toggle quantize N/A".
Does anybody knows what the difference is between this two
messages ?
As far as I know, it's only possible to enable/disable the
quantize
from the XPander panel.
How about sending one of those messages via midi, save the patches
(before/after the messages), to see which bit(s) are set or
cleared
(if any).
Repeat with the other message.
