When Latching mode is enabled in the Play Options panel, Grooves are not turned off by
a note-off message, but by another note-on message of the same note number.
It is also crucial to familiarize yourself with the different
Transition modes and other settings in the Play Options panel,
and also the Auto Repeat Groove buttons, when playing
Grooves via MIDI.
8:6 Kit-Piece Note Filters / Half-time buttons
At the top of the Groove Librarian you will notice three rows of pink buttons above the
Groove and Fill Banks. These buttons (with one exception, the Half-time button at the
extreme-right of each row – see below) are used to fi lter out individual Kit-Pieces’ notes
from Grooves playing from each of the Banks.
Please note that the Kit-Piece Note Filters only apply to Kit-Piece slots in Mixer Page 1.
There are a variety of potential uses for this function: for example, it can be used when
you only want to play certain Kit-Pieces in each Groove Bank while you jam other parts
in live. Another application is combining two Groove sets – for instance, you can use the
kicks, snares and toms from one Bank and the hihats and cymbals from another. If you
are working in this way, please ensure you enable Polyphonic Mode in the Play Options
panel.

• In this example, the Groove
output will contain kick, snare
and cymbals from Bank A and
hihat and toms from Bank B.
It can be nice to use this with
the A-B Link function, in order
to always make the Grooves
in corresponding slots in both
Banks play together.
