Change the Rhythmic Feel Groove and Dynamics

These versatile features give you a wide variety of tools for changing the rhythmic feel of your created accompaniment
style. The operations here apply to step 4 on page 111.

Groove

Groove parameters
Original Beat Species 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 (specied 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 specied 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 specied beat but not including the rst 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.
