6. Finalizing Your Sound
46 RS7000

In this section we’ll take a look at some of the important RS7000 features you can use to refine and

finalize your sound.

With the RS7000 there are a surprising number of ways to modify your sound even after the tracks are recorded. The Grid Groove func-
tion is one of these. Grid Groove lets you change the notes, timing, length, and velocity of individual beats in your pattern or song to
fine-tune the “groove”. The Grid Groove function can be very effective when used with sliced break-beat samples. Here’s how it works:
Procedure
1Select the Grid Groove Mode
Press the SUB MODE [GROOVE] button to engage the Grid Groove function.
2Select a Track
Use the standard track-selection procedure to select the track you want to work on (press a gray or white key on the keyboard while
holding the [TRACK SELECT] button). The number of the selected track appears in the title bar at the top of the display.
3Select One or More Beats
The entire Grid Groove display corresponds to one 4/4 measure, and the vertical divisions are 16th beats. The 16 gray or white keys on
the keyboard correspond to each of these 16th beats. Press the keys on the keyboard corresponding to the beat(s) you want to affect with
the groove controls. The selected segments in the Grid Groove display will be highlighted.
4Play the Pattern & Adjust the Groove Parameters as Required
Press the [PLAY] button to begin playback, then use [Knob 1] ~ [Knob 4] to adjust the corresponding groove parameters for the selected
beats. The little icons that appear on the grid tell you when any parameter has been shifted from its “0” setting.
NOTE OFFSET
Shifts the selected note(s) up or down in semitone increments. With pitched voices this will obvisously change the pitch, but with-
drum kit voices or sliced break-beats this will change the instrument played on the specified beat(s).
CLOCK SHIFT
Shifts the timing of the specified beat(s) forward or backward in clock increments (there are 480 clocks per quarter note) up to a
maximum of plus or minus 120 clocks (i.e. a 16th note).
GATE OFFSET
Adjusts the gate time (length) of the selected beat(s). Positive settings make the note(s) longer and negative settings make them
shorter.
