Controls Description
SWING Section
Amount Adjusts the amount of swing, i.e. the amount by which some events are
shifted. At 0 % events are not shifted. Raise the Amount value to increase
the strength of the swing.
Cycle Determines on what musical resolution the groove is applied. This directly
affects which events will be shifted. Values are measured in fractions of a
whole note.
Invert Allows you to invert the groove so that instead of being delayed in the Pat-
tern events will be triggered ahead of time.
How Groove Affects the Rhythm: An Example
Take a simple, regular one-bar rhythm with a hit on each eighth note. We set the Cycle param-
eter to 1/2, which is one half note, that is two beats.
The following picture shows you how this rhythm would sound with the following settings:
Top: Amount at 0.0 % (no groove).
Middle: Amount at 100.0 % and Invert off.
Bottom: Amount at 100.0 % and Invert enabled.
