Groove
(PSR-740)
The Groove and Dynamics function on the PSR-740 lets you temporarily change the “feel” of the accom-
paniment. Specifically, it allows you to alter the timing, velocity and gate time of notes during playback of
any of the accompaniment styles.
●
Groove
This lets you play the music with some swing or change the “feel” of the beat by
making subtle shifts in the timing (clock) of the accompaniment style.
• Groove Type
This determines the type of groove timing change. For example, the “16 to 8”
setting converts all 16th notes to 8th-note timing.
• Groove Swing
This determines how much “swing” feel is applied to the accompaniment.
●
Dynamics
This changes the velocity (or accent) of certain notes in the accompaniment
style to complement or enhance changes made to the Groove settings above.
• Dynamics Type
This determines the type of dynamic change applied to the accompaniment.
(Each type is a different “template” to which the timing of the velocity changes
has been programmed.)
• Dynamics Depth
This determines how strongly the selected dynamics type is applied to the
accompaniment (expressed as a percentage). Higher values produce a
stronger effect.
Every time the [GROOVE] button is pressed, the values for the above Groove and
Dynamics parameters are automatically set to best suit the selected style.
