Editing the Rhythmic Feel (
Groove
)
The instructions below apply to step 6 of the Basic Procedure on
page 27
. On the
Groove
page, you can
change the timing of all notes and velocities, and edit the rhythmic feel for each channel of the current
Section selected on the
Basic
page or the panel button.

In the
Groove
page, use the Cursor buttons [
][
] to select the edit menu, and then
edit the data by using the [1

] buttons.

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 Section selected on the
Basic
page.

Original Beat
Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other
words, if
8 Beat
is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th notes; if
12 Beat
is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets.

Beat Converter
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 sec-
tion are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The “16A” and “16B” Beat Con-
verter which appear when
Original Beat
is set to
12 Beat
are variations on
a basic 16th-note setting.

Swing
Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depend-
ing 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.

Fine
Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected sec-
tion. 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.
