Mapping Groove Templates
Pro Tools applies groove templates relative to
the song start. For example, a two-bar groove
template repeats starting at every odd-num-
bered bar in the session (bar 1, 3, 5, 7…).
Template Mapping for Equal Meters And Odd
Numbered Bars
If a two-bar groove template is applied to a selec-
tion of one bar of the same meter, only the first
bar of the template is used. If the selection does
not encompass bar boundaries, for example
1|2|000 to 2|1|000, the groove template only
modifies the selected notes.
