THE REGROOVE MIXER
437
Groove Amount
Use this fader to adjust how intensely the selected groove patch will modify your notes. At 0%, the groove patch will
have no effect. At 100%, the groove patch will have its maximum effect. Obviously, values between these extremes
will produce some amount of groove effect, but less than maximum.
As discussed in “Groove Settings”, later in this chapter, several additional parameters are associated with groove
patches and how they modify your notes. Specifically, the Groove Settings section of the Tool Window contains four
“impact” settings (timing, velocity, note length, and randomness), and the Groove Amount fader acts like a “master”
fader that scales these four parameters proportionally.
Pre-Align
Enabling this button causes any incoming notes to be quantized to a rigid, sixteenth note grid prior to having any ad-
ditional groove modifications applied to them. This quantization, which occurs in real time and is non-destructive, is an
easy way to align all incoming notes to a “straight” grid, so that any shuffle, slide, or groove modifications have the ex-
pected effect on the notes.
Global Shuffle
Enabling this button causes the ReGroove channel to use the “Global Shuffle” setting, rather than the channel's own
shuffle setting. The channel's Shuffle knob will have no effect when a channel uses global shuffle. Using global shuf-
fle is a good way to synchronize notes in a particular channel with those in pattern-based devices, such as Redrum’s
internal sequencer, the Matrix pattern sequencer, and the RPG-8 arpeggiator (Record+Reason), all of which get their
shuffle values from the Global Shuffle value.
A Groove Amount of 100%
modifies notes using all
groove settings at their
specified amounts.
A Groove Amount of 50%
modifies notes using all
groove settings at only half
their specified amounts.
