Groove Lab - Generalmusic 271221 Owner's Manual

"GROOVE LAB"

Whenever you're using grooves and viewing the GROOVES
PROGRAM display as shown here, the control sliders and pitch
wheel take on special functions which allow you to manipulate
the groove in real time to create some unique "DJ" like effects.
These functions collectively are known as the " GROOVE LAB".
They can be used on any groove but are particularly effective
when used with the composite grooves in the COMBI1, 2 and 3
patches.
The GROOVE LAB functions are only active while the GROOVES
PROGRAM display is shown. If you press ESCAPE to return to
the performance display, the groove section itself will still be ac-
tive but the GROOVE LAB functions will not. Let's take a closer
look at the functions in GROOVE LAB .
PITCH WHEEL
In GROOVE LAB, the pitch wheel is used to simulate the speed-
ing up and slowing down of a vinyl record on a turntable. Moving
the wheel upwards will cause the "virtual record" to spin faster
while moving it downwards will slow the turntable almost to a
stop. This complex effect can be used on any groove whenever
the GROOVE PROGRAM display is shown.
SLIDERS 1-8, (upper row selected)
The first 8 sliders are given the following functions in GROOVE
LAB which affect all 8 tracks of the current groove.
