Press the L1 button to call up the Groove display page. This
function may be familiar to you if you have experience using a
sequencer, where it is sometimes known as "Swing". Groove is
related to the rhythmic feel during performance. The factor of
the parameter Groove causes gradual changes in the rhythmic
positions to which individual beats are set. The control range
lies between the "straight" performance based on sixteenth
notes and a "swinging" performance based on triplets. Groove
drags sixteenth notes forward or backward in such a way that
the quantization which initially seems precise becomes less and
less so as the value is increased, until at the other end of the
scale it has become a quantization based on 12th or 24th notes.
1. Groove No. (L1)
This is where you select the Groove type.
0:
OFF; no Groove
1-8:
8 Triplet; quantization based on eight-note triplets
9:
16 Triplet; quantization based on sixteenth-note triplets
10:
Swing; typical swing quantization
2. Intensity (F1-F6)
You can set the intensity for each part individually in 10 steps
using the buttons F1 through F6.
Hint: Begin by setting the intensity of all parts to 5 and
then change the Groove type. In this way you can gain a
quick impression of the characteristic differences between
the individual Groove types.
