Groove Check Function

*This function can also be used in Pattern Play Mode.
This is a unique feature of the Yamaha DTX which enables you to check the "groove" feeling, that is a
difference in timing (how the pad or drum attack delays from the exact timing) of the song (or pattern) beat.
The Groove Check Function consists of the following 2 modes:
Single Mode .............. The LCD displays the difference (in clock units) of the timing, comparing each input from the pad or drum to
the song (or pattern) beat. This is convenient to check the timing of a snare or kick. The finest groove check
level depends on the quantization of the click.
