6. Finalizing Your Sound 6. Finalizing Your Sound In this section we'll take a look at some of the important RS7000 features you can use to refine and finalize your sound. Grid Groove With the RS7000 there are a surprising number of ways to modify your sound even after the tracks are recorded. The Grid Groove function is one of these. Grid Groove lets you change the notes, timing, length, and velocity of individual beats in your pattern or song to fine-tune the "groove". The Grid Groove function can be very effective when used with sliced break-beat samples. Here's how it works: Procedure 1 Select the Grid Groove Mode Press the SUB MODE [GROOVE] button to engage the Grid Groove function.

The number of the selected track appears in the title bar at the top of the display. 3 Select One or More Beats The entire Grid Groove display corresponds to one 4/4 measure, and the vertical divisions are 16th beats. The 16 gray or white keys on the keyboard correspond to each of these 16th beats. Press the keys on the keyboard corresponding to the beat(s) you want to affect with the groove controls. The selected segments in the Grid Groove display will be highlighted. 4 Play the Pattern & Adjust the Groove Parameters as Required Press the [PLAY] button to begin playback, then use [Knob 1] ~ [Knob 4] to adjust the corresponding groove parameters for the selected beats. The little icons that appear on the grid tell you when any parameter has been shifted from its "0" setting. NOTE OFFSET Shifts the selected note(s) up or down in semitone increments. With pitched voices this will obvisously change the pitch, but withdrum kit voices or sliced break-beats this will change the instrument played on the specified beat(s). CLOCK SHIFT Shifts the timing of the specified beat(s) forward or backward in clock increments (there are 480 clocks per quarter note) up to a maximum of plus or minus 120 clocks (i.e. a 16th note). GATE OFFSET Adjusts the gate time (length) of the selected beat(s). Positive settings make the note(s) longer and negative settings make them shorter. 46 RS7000
