III. Shuffle and Groove Quantize
As we saw in the Basic Sequencing Supplemental Notes, the XP-60/80 has 3 types of Quantize: Grid, Shuffle,
and Groove. Let’s look more closely at the Shuffle and Groove Quantize:
Shuffle Quantize
Shuffle quantize uses the same basic concept as grid quantize, but allows you to add a “swing” feel, which can be
adjusted by percentage. This feel is very popular in Hip Hop music but can also be used in small percentages to
make almost any track feel more realistic. Let’s try quantizing Pattern 001 which we created in section 1:
1) Press SEQUENCER.
2) Press LOOP so it is lit.
3) Press PATTERN and use the VALUE DIAL to select “Pattern 1.”
4) Press F2 (Quantize) followed by F2 (Shuffle).
5) CURSOR to Resolution and use the VALUE DIAL to select “ ”
(sixteenth note).
6) CURSOR to Rate and use the VALUE DIAL to select “57%” (we’ll come back to this).
7) CURSOR to Target and use the VALUE DIAL to select “PTN 001.”
8) CURSOR to Measure and use the VALUE DIAL to select “1.”
9) CURSOR to For and use the VALUE DIAL to select “ALL.”
10) CURSOR to Channel and use the VALUE DIAL to select “ALL.”
11) CURSOR to Note Range and use the VALUE DIAL to select “C-1 - G9.”
12) CURSOR to Rate and press PLAY. Use the VALUE DIAL to change the Rate amount. You can hear the
changes as you vary the amount. A setting of 69% adds a “Hip-Hop” feel to the Pattern, but small amounts
(51-54%) slightly enhance the groove without drastically changing the feel.
13) Press F6 (Execute) to complete the settings, then press EXIT.
Groove Quantize
Groove Quantize is a unique feature found in the XP series of keyboards. There are 90 different feels, called
“Groove Templates,” that can affect the rhythm and feel of a song. Templates adjust the placement of notes and
apply dynamics to fit the Style. As with Shuffle Quantize, you can try different settings while listening to your
equenced material:

1) Press SEQUENCER.
2) Press LOOP so it is lit.
3) Press PATTERN and use the VALUE DIAL to select “001.”
