Editing the Rhythmic Feel 1 2 3 1 1 In the GROOVE Page, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the edit menu, then edit the data by using the [1 ]-[8 ] buttons. 1 GROOVE This lets you add swing to the music or change the "feel" of the beat by making subtle shifts in the timing (clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the selected Style. [1 ]/ [2 ] [3 ]/ [4 ] [5 ]/ [6 ] [7 ]/ [8 ] ORIGINAL BEAT BEAT CONVERTER SWING FINE Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other words, if "8 Beat" is selected, Groove timing is applied to the 8th notes; if "12 Beat" is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets. Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to "8 Beat" and BEAT CONVERTER is set to "12," all 8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The "16A" and "16B" Beat Converter which appear when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to "12 Beat" are variations on a basic 16th-note setting. Produces a "swing" feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depending on the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above. For example, if the specified ORIGINAL BEAT value is "8 Beat", the Swing parameter will selectively delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The settings "A" through "E" produce different degrees of swing, with "A" being the most subtle and "E" being the most pronounced. Selects a variety of Groove "templates" to be applied to the selected section. The "PUSH" settings cause certain beats to be played early, while "HEAVY" settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the specified beat-but not including the first beat-will be played early or delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if "3" is selected). In all cases, "A" types produce minimum effect, "B" types produce medium effect, and "C" types produce maximum effect. NEXT PAGE 46 Tyros4 Reference Manual
