Up to 4 patterns can be played simultaneously, using the same
tempo. Slightly shifting the timing when you hit the pads is also
possible.
The [SOUND JAMMER] slider allows sound modification also in
groove play mode. The slider affects all tracks selected with the
[KIT/TRACK SELECT] keys.

• In groove mode, the [START] and [STOP] key can be used to
start and stop the currently selected song.
• During groove playback, pad operation (press/release) is
detected using the quantize value (shortest note) as the detection
interval. This is aimed at matching the timing to other grooves
and songs played at the same time. Playing with a fast timing is
therefore facilitated by choosing a low quantize value. To play
with small timing shifts, choose a higher quantize setting.
