Quick Start Guide Sampling with Song Playback (Integrated Sampling Sequencer) 4. Using the Groove function Reference (page 218 ) The Grid Groove function makes it possible to adjust the pitch, timing, length, and velocity of notes in a specified track on a measure-long 16th-note grid. This lets you easily come up with a wide variety of rhythmic feels and grooves that would be difficult or impossible to create using precise, yet rigid sequencer operations. Moreover, Grid Groove is a playback-only operation, meaning that it leaves the original recorded data intact. Grid Groove can also be applied to sample tracks that contain samples processed with the Slice function, as well as normal MIDI tracks. 1 Call up the GROOVE display. 2 Select a track. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 TRACK SELECT 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 MUTE SOLO SF 1 SF 2 SF 3 SF 4 SF 5 F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 OCTAVE DOWN UP KNOB CONTROL FUNCTION PAN REVERB CHORUS CUTOFF RESONANCE ATTACK ASSIGN A ASSIGN B ASSIGN 1 TEMPO RELEASE ASSIGN 2 REMOTE CONTROL ON/OFF MASTER VOLUME KN 1 KN 2 KN 3 KN 4 MEQ LOW MEQLOWMID MEQ HI MID MEQ HIGH VOLUME 1 VOLUME 2 VOLUME 3 VOLUME 4 EFFECT BYPASS ARPEGGIO INSERTION SYSTEM ON/OFF SEQ TRANSPORT CS 1 CS 2 CS 3 CS 4 LOCATE 1 2 REC ZONE 1 ZONE 2 ZONE 3 ZONE 4 MODE VOICE PERFORM MASTER SEQUENCER SONG PATTERN FILE INTEGRATED SAMPLING MIXING UTILITY EDIT JOB STORE COMPARE SCENE STORE SET LOCATE SONG SCENE SF 1 SF 2 SF 3 SF 4 SF 5 INFORMATION F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 DEC/NO EXIT INC/YES ENTER EXECUTE DRUM KITS FAVORITES COMMON MUSIC PRODUCTION SYNTHESIZER Integrated Sampling Sequencer Real-time External Control Surface Modular Synthesis Plug-in System SLOT 1 SLOT 2 SLOT 3 PRE 1 PRE 2 PRE 3 GM USER PLG 1 PLG 2 PLG 3 CATEGORY SEARCH A.
