ing subtle shifts in the timing (clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are

ORIGINAL BEAT Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other 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 CONVERTER Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the ORIGINAL BEAT
parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when ORIGINAL BEAT is
set to "8 Beat" and BEAT CONVERTER is set to "12," all 8th notes in the sec-
tion are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The "16A" and "16B" Beat Con-
verter 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, depending
on the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above. For example, if the specified ORIGI-
NAL 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 set-
tings "A" through "E" produce different degrees of swing, with "A" being the
most subtle and "E" being the most pronounced.
FINE Selects a variety of Groove "templates" to be applied to the selected section.
The "PUSH" settings cause certain beats to be played early, while "HEAVY"
settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (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 min-
imum effect, "B" types produce medium effect, and "C" types produce maxi-
mum effect.
