Controls Description
SWING Section
Amount Adjusts the amount of swing, i.e. the amount by which some
events are shifted. At 0 % events are not shifted. Raise the
Amount value to increase the strength of the swing.
Cycle Determines on what musical resolution the groove is applied.
This directly affects which events will be shifted. Values are
measured in fractions of a whole note.
Invert Allows you to invert the groove so that instead of being delayed
in the Pattern events will be triggered ahead of time.
How Groove Affects the Rhythm: An Example
Take a simple, regular one-bar rhythm with a hit on each eighth note. We set the Cycle param-
eter to 1/2 , which is one half note, that is two beats.
