The parameters in this display are used to change the timing of the style to create the required "groove". Use the SECTION LCD dials to select the section you want to apply groove timing to. The BEAT dial specifies the beats to which groove timing is to be applied (i.e. if "8" is selected groove timing is applied to 8th notes in the selected section, or if "12" is selected groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets). The BEAT CONVERTER dials actually change the timing of the beats specified by the BEAT dial to the specified value. The available BEAT CONVERTER settings change according to the selected BEAT. With a BEAT setting of "8" and a BEAT CONVERTER setting of "12", for example, all 8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The "16A" and "16B" BEAT CONVERTER settings which appear when BEAT is set to "12" are variations of the "16" setting. The SWING dial produces a "swing" feel by shifting the timing of "back beats", as specified by the BEAT parameter. For example, if the specified BEAT value is 8th notes, then the swing parameter will delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The "A" through "E" settings produce different degrees of swing feel, with "A" being the most subtle and "E" being the strongest. The FINE dials select a range of "groove templates" to be applied to the current section. "PUSH" settings cause certain beats to be played early, while "HEAVY" settings delay the timing of certain beats. The number - "2", "3", "4", or "5" - determines 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: e.g. 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 the maximum effect. Press the PRESET LCD button to restore the default settings for the current style. • When a groove setting is changed while the style is playing, the changes will take effect from the top of the next measure. s SETUP COPY Copies all GROOVE parameter settings from the SOURCE SECTION to the specified DESTINATION SECTION. The SOURCE SECTION LCD dials select the section you want to copy from. The DESTINATION SECTION LCD dials specify the section to which the GROOVE settings will be copied. Press the EXECUTE button. 79
