from 64 Left to 64 Right . The value is modified using the
Value + / - keys, which if pressed together at the same
time set the Pan Pot at the central value. ( the central
value is identified by two dashes - - .)
GROOVES
Section 10 of the Drum Mixer menu controls the Grooves. The Grooves are sampled rhythms taken
from original or recorded performances or even typical modern Dance / Tecno Loops.
They may play alone or in combination with the internal Drum Set without ever falling out of step
with the standard Tempo.
The instrument contains a large number of Grooves within its internal sound memory, which are
used in many of the Factory and Custom Styles stored and can also control a countless number of
Grooves using RAM and CARD (See RAM – CARD chapter).
In the Handbook appendage the Styles that employ the Grooves in the Arrangement are indicated
