How Groove Affects the Rhythm: An Example
Take a simple, regular one-bar rhythm with a hit on each eighth note. We set the Cycle param-
eter to 1/2, which is one half note, that is two beats.
The following picture shows you how this rhythm would sound with the following settings:
▪ Top: Amount at 0.0 % (no groove).
▪ Middle: Amount at 100.0 % and Invert off.
▪ Bottom: Amount at 100.0 % and Invert enabled.
This is how the same regular rhythm would be heard with various groove settings.
The picture above only illustrates how the groove function affects the sound — adjusting
the Groove properties will not effectively move events in the Patterns displayed in the
Pattern Editor!

Your controller provides extra shortcuts for various important parameters. Most of these param-
eters are already available in the Channel properties of the Sounds, Groups, and Master. The
shortcuts detailed here give you an additional quick access to them — especially useful during
live performance.
