Sampling with Song Playback (Integrated Sampling Sequencer)

4. Using the Groove function

Reference (page 218 )

The Grid Groove function makes it possible to adjust the pitch, timing, length, and velocity of notes in a specified track on a measure-long 16th-note grid. This lets you easily come up with a wide variety of rhythmic feels and grooves that would be difficult or impossible to create using precise, yet rigid sequencer operations. Moreover, Grid Groove is a playback-only operation, meaning that it leaves the original recorded data intact.

Grid Groove can also be applied to sample tracks that contain samples processed with the Slice function, as well as normal MIDI tracks.

nKeep in mind that if you make an edit at a specific 16th note position and there is no MIDI data at that point, the track will not change.

Each aspect of the track to be offset (pitch, time, length, velocity) is indicated by a different graphic.
