Groove Patch Length
This displays the groove's length, which is import for determining how often the groove repeats.
D In general, if you apply different groove patches to different note lanes, you'll want their lengths to be multi-
ples of one another.
For example, if one ReGroove channel uses a 4-bar groove, you might want to use 4-bar grooves on other chan-
nels or, perhaps, a multiple (such as 1-bar, 2-bar, or 8-bar grooves).
You can, of course, mix and match grooves with non-standard lengths, but you need to be aware of how these
grooves will interact. For example, if one channel used a 3-bar groove and another used a 4-bar groove, the groove
pattern would actually repeat every 12 bars (3-bars times 4-bars).
Groove Patch Time Signature
This displays the groove's time signature and should, in most cases, match the time signature of your sequence.
D In general, if you apply different groove patches to different note lanes, you'll want them to share a common
time signature.
You can, of course, mix and match time signatures to create polyrhythmic grooves, but you need to be aware of
how these grooves interact. For example a 6/8 groove will shift notes in a radically different way than a 4/4
groove, so applying them simultaneously may or may not sound the way you expect.
Timing Impact
This determines the extent to which timing information embedded in the groove template affects the position of your
notes. A 50% setting means that notes are moved halfway to the positions defined in the groove template. 100%
means they are moved exactly to the positions in the groove, and 200% means they are moved just as far past the
groove template positions.
D This parameter works in conjunction with the ReGroove Mixer's Groove Amount fader, which can scale back
the groove's timing impact.
For example, if the Groove Amount fader is set to 100%, then notes are moved by the indicated Timing Impact
amount, but if the Groove Amount fader is set to 50%, then notes are moved by only half the Timing Impact
amount.
These are the original notes in your sequence.
These are note locations stored in a groove
template. A Timing Impact = 100% moves your
original notes to this location.
A Timing Impact = 50% moves your original notes
only halfway to the template's note location.
