Blending elements of other Grooves in the editor
As mentioned in the previous section, each Groove can be ‘expanded’ to show its constituent kit-piece elements – kicks, snares,
hihats, toms, cymbals and so on.
When editing one Groove you can replace or merge an element of another Groove by dragging an element from the Palette to the
Editor grid. See section 6:5 for a guide to using these features.
Slot context menu
Right-clicking on any selected Groove slot displays the slot context menu containing
a number of further Groove-based operations.
Copy selected Grooves
Copies all currently selected Grooves to the clipboard.
Cut selected Grooves
Removes all currently selected Grooves from their slots and stores them in the clip-
board.
Paste selected Grooves
If the clipboard contains Cut or Copied Grooves, this function pastes the contents to the current slot and as many subsequent
empty slots (going up the keyboard) as necessary, depending on how many Grooves are in the clipboard.
New Groove
Creates a new empty 1-bar Groove on the slot. This is required if you want to create a new Groove from scratch and draw or
record notes into it with the Editor.
If you have previously created changed a Groove’s length, creating a new Groove results in a Groove with the same length as the
last Groove whose length was changed.
If you attempt to create a new Groove on a slot that already contains a Groove, a warning is shown, requiring you to confirm the
action before you can continue.
If the currently selected slot is empty, a shortcut to this function is also shown in the Editor area.
Clear Palette
Clears the entire contents of the Palette.
A warning is shown, requiring you to confirm the action before you can continue.

features.
