CHAPTER 8. CLIP VIEW 103
8.1.3 Clip Signature
Using the Clip Signature elds, you can specify the time signature of a MIDI or audio
clip. This setting is relevant only for display; it does not affect playback. Please note that
Clip Signature is completely separate from the project's time signature, and can be set
independently for each clip. This makes it easy to create complex polymetric textures by
simultaneously triggering clips with different meters and/or loop lengths.
8.1.4 Clip Groove Chooser
The Clip Groove chooser selects the groove used for the clip from the grooves available in
the Groove Pool.
The Clip Groove
Chooser.
The Open Groove Pool entry in this chooser can be used to open the Groove Pool if it
is closed. If you want to quickly try out a variety of grooves, you can enable the Hot-Swap
button above the chooser and then step through the grooves in the Browser while the clip
plays.
The Commit button under the chooser writes the current groove settings to the clip and
disables the assigned groove. If the groove uses the Velocity parameter, committing on
an audio clip will create a volume Clip Envelope in order to convert the groove's velocity
information into audio volume changes. Note that this will overwrite any volume Clip
Envelope that was already in the clip.
