Grooves 7•1
7 • GROOVES
The Grooves section of the Equinox contains over 1000 MIDI
grooves. These provide a valuable resource of inspiring drum,
bass and keyboard “riffs” which can be used either for real time
playing or can be incorporated into sequences and edited to your
taste.
Each groove is actually a small looping MIDI sequence. This
means that you have complete freedom to change any aspect of
these grooves - the sounds, the effects, the tempo, the key, the
pitch and so on.
When you press the
PROGRAM button in the GROOVES sec-
tion, the screen will show you the name of the current
Groove
Patch, and you can immediately start to play it from the key-
board. Use the dial to scroll through some of the factory preset
Groove Patches.
Groove Library
The factory grooves have been arranged into 16 families with
each family containing 64 grooves. These families have been
organized into specific categories making it easier to quickly find
any particular groove quickly. There are also 8 user families into
which you can either copy the factory grooves or store your own
creations.
The factory groove families are listed below.
