ORIGINAL Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other
BEAT words, if "8 Beat" is selected, Groove timing is applied to the 8th notes; if
"12 Beat" is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets.
BEAT CON- Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the ORIGINAL
VERTER BEAT parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when ORIG-
INAL BEAT is set to "8 Beat" and BEAT CONVERTER is set to "12," all
8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The "16A"
and "16B" Beat Converter which appear when ORIGINAL BEAT is set
to "12 Beat" are variations on a basic 16th-note setting.
SWING Produces a "swing" feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depend-
ing on the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above. For example, if the speci-
fied ORIGINAL BEAT value is "8 Beat", the Swing parameter will
selectively delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create
a swing feel. The settings "A" through "E" produce different degrees of
swing, with "A" being the most subtle and "E" being the most pro-
nounced.
FINE Selects a variety of Groove "templates" to be applied to the selected sec-
tion. The "PUSH" settings cause certain beats to be played early, while
"HEAVY" settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered set-
tings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to
the specified beat—but not including the first beat—will be played early
or delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if "3" is selected). In all
cases, "A" types produce minimum effect, "B" types produce medium
effect, and "C" types produce maximum effect.
