A groove configured for a channel affects all its contained channels:
• At the Sound level, the Groove properties settings of a Sound affect that single Sound.
• At the Group level, the Groove properties settings of a Group affect all Sounds of the Group. The
Group’s swing is added to the groove set for each individual Sound via its own Groove
properties.
• At the Master level, the Groove properties affect all Sounds of all Groups. The Master’s swing is
added to the groove set for each individual Group and Sound via their own Groove properties.
The Groove properties have a single Parameter page: Swing .
Please refer to section Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages to
know how to display and navigate sets of Channel properties.

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.

The Choke All Notes feature allows you to cut off any note or event currently playing in your
Project. This affects the audio coming from all Plug-ins
To choke all notes:
▶ Press SHIFT + MUTE to choke all playing notes.

• As a creative tool in a live performance, for example, to create stutter breaks.
• As a workflow aid, to stop long one-shot Samples that continue playing after you have stopped
the sequencer.
