Adding Swing To The Rhythm (Shuffle Quantize); Giving A Groove To The Rhythm (Groove Quantize) - Roland Groovebox MC-307 Reference Manual

The setting screen for Quantize appears.
5. Select the part for which Quantize is to be applied by
pressing one of the [R], [1] to [7] part buttons.
Quantize is applied to the part whose button is blinking.
Parts whose buttons are not lighted are not subject to
quantize.
6. Press [F2 (GRID)] button.
Parameters of Grid Quantize appear in the lower part of
the display.
7. Press the [CURSOR (up/down)] buttons to move the
cursor to "TIMING."
8. Set up the degree of correction using the [VALUE] dial or
the [INC/DEC] buttons.
A "0" value indicates no correction while "100" indicates
that the notes are corrected according to the notes set up
with RESOLUTION described below. The farther away
from "0" and the closer to "100" the setting value is, the
more accurate the timing.
9. Press the [CURSOR (up/down)] buttons to move the
cursor to "TEMPLATE."
10. Select the note that is used as the reference note for
correction using the [VALUE] dial or the [INC/DEC]
buttons.
The pattern is played back according to the corrections made
in the Grid Quantize operation.
* The note value unit to which quantization will adjust the
timing is called the Resolution. The timing of notes will be
adjusted to the nearest grid interval of the note value you
specify here. Set this to the length of the smallest note value
that occurs in the pattern.

TIMING: 0–100

Adding Swing to the Rhythm
(Shuffle Quantize)
By applying Shuffle Quantize, you can adjust the timing of
the backbeats of the pattern to create "bouncy" rhythms such
as shuffle or swing.

Procedure
1. Referring to Steps 1 - 5 (P. 34) in the Grid Quantize
operation , open the settings window, and select the part
to be quantized.
2. Press the [F3 (SHFL)] buttons.
Parameters of shuffle quantize appear in the display.
3. Press the [CURSOR (up/down)] buttons to move the
cursor to "TIMING."
4. Set up the degree to which the backbeats will bounce
using the [VALUE] dial or the [INC/DEC] buttons.
A setting value of "50" indicates no bouncing
(equivalent to using grid quantize). Generally, values
around 60% to 66% achieve comfortable shuffling.
5. Press the [CURSOR (up/down)] buttons to move the
cursor to "TEMPLATE."
6. Select the note that is used as the reference note for
correction using the [VALUE] dial or the [INC/DEC]
buttons.
The pattern is played back according to the corrections made
in the shuffle quantize operation.
* The note value unit to which quantization will adjust the
timing is called the Resolution. The timing of notes will be
adjusted to the nearest grid interval of the note value you
specify here. Set this to the length of the smallest note value
that occurs in the pattern.
Range:
TIMING: 0 – 100

Giving a Groove to the Rhythm
(Groove Quantize)
Groove Quantize lets you select a template by which the
playback timing and the velocity will be quantized. Simply
by selecting a different template, you can give a variety of
different-feeling grooves to a pattern.
The MC-307 contains 71 different types of quantization
templates, each of which contains a different set of playback
timing and velocity (dynamics) data.
* The templates are for use with 4/4 time signatures. They will
not produce the desired result when applied to other time
signatures.
