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 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, depending on the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above.

For example, if the speciﬁed 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 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 minimum effect, “B”

types produce medium effect, and “C” types produce maximum effect.
