Groove Amount
Copy, Paste and Initialize ReGroove channels
Use this fader to adjust how intensely the selected groove patch will modify your
notes. At 0%, the groove patch will have no effect. At 100%, the groove patch will
have its maximum effect. Obviously, values between these extremes will produce
some amount of groove effect, but less than maximum.
To copy one ReGroove channel configuration into another:
As discussed in Groove Settings, later in this chapter, several additional parameters
are associated with groove patches and how they modify your notes. Specifically, the
Groove Settings section of the Tool Window contains four “impact” settings (timing,
velocity, note length, and randomness), and the Groove Amount fader acts like a
“master” fader that scales these four parameters proportionally.
1. Decide which ReGroove channel you want to copy from, then right-click (Windows) or [Ctrl]-click (Mac) on the Groove Patch Name (or anywhere else in
that channel, except directly on a parameter).
A context menu appears.
Groove Amount of 100%
modifies notes using all
groove settings at their
specified amounts.
2. Select “Copy Channel” from the context menu.
Groove Amount of 50%
modifies notes using all
groove settings at only half
their specified amounts.
3. Right-click (Windows) or [Ctrl]-click (Mac) on the destination channel's
Groove Patch Name, then select “Paste Channel” from the context menu.
Reason copies all the ReGroove channel settings to this channel.
To initialize a ReGroove channel:
1. Right-click (Windows) or [Ctrl]-click (Mac) on the Groove Patch Name (or
anywhere else in that channel, except directly on a parameter) to open a context menu.
2. Select “Initialize Channel” from the context menu.
Reason resets all channel parameters to their default values.
Pre-Align
Enabling (lighting) this button causes any incoming notes to be quantized to a rigid,
sixteenth note grid prior to having any additional groove modifications applied to
them. This quantization, which occurs in real time and is non-destructive, is an easy
way to align all incoming notes to a “straight” grid, so that any shuffle, slide, or groove
modifications have the expected effect on the notes.
Global Shuffle
Enabling (lighting) this button causes the ReGroove channel to use the “Global Shuffle” setting, rather than the channel's own shuffle setting. The channel's Shuffle knob
will have no effect when a channel uses global shuffle. Using global shuffle is a good
way to synchronize notes in a particular channel with those in pattern-based devices
(such as Redrum’s internal sequencer, the Matrix pattern sequencer, and the RPG-8
arpeggiator), all of which get their shuffle values from the Global Shuffle value.
