Using the Groove Check Function

Another highly useful feature of the DTXTREME III is the Groove Check function. As you play along with a song or the click, Groove Check compares your timing with the song or click playback and lets you know how accurate your playing is. The related Rhythm Gate function—in which the sound is cancelled if your timing is off—also provides a great way for you to improve your technique.

NOTE

•Groove Check can only be used during song or click playback, and

only from the Groove Check dis- play called up via [CLICK] → [F4] GROOVE → [SF1] G.CHECK,

while Rhythm Gate can only be used during song or click play- back, and only from the Rhythm

Gate display called up via [CLICK] → [F4] GROOVE →

[SF2] R.GATE.

1NoteDetermines the note timing to which Groove Check and Rhythm Gate are applied.

Settings

When “3/8,” “6/8,” “9/8,” “12/8” or “15/8” is selected: whole note, dotted 1/4 note, 8th note, 16th note

When another value is selected: whole note, 1/4 note, 8th note, 16th note, 8th note triplet

BSwing

This parameter is available only when 8th note triplet is selected in the Note parameter. This parameter lets you specify the third note timing of the triplet as correct. In other words, this determines how your swing feel will be evaluated with Groove Check.

-39 – 0 – +39

0 (standard): Assumes that the correct timing is exactly at the third note of the triplet.

Range -39 (minimum): Assumes that the correct timing is close to the third note at 16th note resolution.

+39 (maximum): Assumes that the correct timing is close to the fourth note at 16th note resolution.

swing = 0 swing = -39 swing = +39

Assuming the timing around here is correct.
