fig.7-12
Shuffle Rate refers to the degree to which the back-
beats will bounce, and specifies the ratio by which the
backbeats will be separated from the downbeats.
When the knob is in the center position, this setting is
at 50%, and the backbeats will be located exactly
between the adjacent downbeats.
Rotating the knob clockwise will move the backbeats
later in time. Rotating the knob counterclockwise will
move the backbeats earlier in time.
100%: Backbeats will fall at the same timing as the
following downbeat.
0%: Backbeats will fall at the same timing as the
preceding downbeat.

Giving a Groove to the
Rhythm (Groove Quantize)
Groove Quantize lets you select a template by which
the playback timing and the velocity will be quan-
tized. Simply by selecting a different template, you can
give a variety of different-feeling grooves to a pattern.
The MC-505 contains 71 different types of quantiza-
tion templates, each of which contains a different set
of playback timing and velocity (dynamics) data.
fig.7-13
* The templates are for use with 4/4 time signatures. They
will not produce the desired result when applied to other
time signatures.
Selecting the Template
1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press keyboard
pad [3].
The Groove Quantize setting page will appear in the
display.
fig.7-14
2. Use [INC] [DEC] or the [VALUE] dial to select
the template.
