37 GrvCheck (groove check)
This sets the Groove Check mode from the
following two types:
Rotate the Data Scroll Wheel or use the +1/YES
and -1/NO buttons to set the parameter. The
following two types are available.
single ............ The DTX shows how loose the data
received from a pad or drum is from the
beat in clock units. This is convenient to
check the timing of a snare or kick. The
minimum unit value of the groove check
function depends on the quantization
setting of the click.
average ......... The LCD diaplays the average percentage
of the beat timing against the precise beat
of the groove check. 100% stands for 1/
16th note quantization. This enables you
to check the groove of the entire drum set.

buttons and set the number of the measure
to break (mute) by rotating the Data Scroll
Wheel or using the +1/YES and -1/NO
buttons. T and B have the following
functions:
T (TOP) .............. Mutes the selected measures of the
rhythm part from the beginning of the
pattern.
B (BOTTOM) ...... Mute the selected measures of the
rhythm part from the end of the

part of the 1st and 4th measures of a 4-measure
pattern, set the number in the T and B focus
areas to “1”.
