P.89 • You use the groove quantize (rhythm quantization) feature to impart a swing, or "groove," to the song data as it is played back. The feature operates by making specified adjustments in note-event timing, velocities, and gate times. Effective use of this feature makes it possible to convert mechanicalsounding song data into driving, meaningful music. • The QY700 comes equipped with 100 preset groove templates, each corresponding to a different musical genre: swing, beat rock, acid jazz, and so on. The QY700 also allows you to create your own, customized templates (called user templates). • Each template contains data for quantizing one measure of recorded data. Quantizing is executed by reapplying the template values to each measure of the recorded track. • Because you can select a different template for each track, you can combine a wide variety of different rhythms within a single song. You can also select how strongly each track's template will act on the track's data - so that it is possible to get a wide range of different "grooves" even when using the same template. • You use the Groove View page to view the preset templates, and to view or create your own user templates. The page displays the template settings in an easy-to-follow graphical form. Chapter 2. SONG MODE 83
