Groove Variations—Sections
Like the Styles, each Groove features several Sec-
tions, allowing you to add dynamic variations to the
performance. Five Sections (A–D, MUSICAL CLI-
MAX) are available.
Unlike the Styles, however, Groove do not have Sec-
tions dedicated to the beginning or ending of the
Song, such as Intro and Ending. All Sections A–D
will play back repeatedly until stopped manually.

beginning.

then rotate the dial to select the desired
Groove.

Press the [START/STOP] button or press

required tempo.
