Auditioning Grooves<br />
Grooves or Fills within any Bank can be auditioned just by clicking on them. The<br />
name of the Groove and the MIDI note label will turn red. If you want to audition<br />
the Groove while it repeats, turn on the Auto Groove Repeat option for the relevant<br />
Bank. Clicking a playing Groove again will stop auditioning it.<br />
Playing Bundles from the Keyboard<br />
The Grooves and Fills in all three Banks are mapped to the keyboard. The actual<br />
names of the keys used are displayed in the Bank slots, next to the name of each<br />
Groove. These values change dynamically depending upon the status of the -2<br />
Octave Numbering option in the Options panel.<br />
It is highly recommended to turn on the Polyphonic Mode option (in the Play Options<br />
panel) when using the Groove Librarian. This mode allows two or more Grooves<br />
to play at the same time. Not only is this important for overlaying ‘drumloop’-type<br />
Grooves in one Bank with ride and crash patterns from another, but it is also<br />
useful for working with the Kit-Piece Note Filters (see below).<br />
Please consult the sections below about the Play Options panel and the Auto<br />
Groove Repeat buttons, in order to see how the Groove Librarian’s behaviour can be<br />
tailored to suit your particular methods of working.<br />
Kit-Piece Note Filters / Half-Time button<br />
At the top of the Groove Librarian you will notice a row of pink-coloured buttons<br />
above the Groove/Fill Banks. These (with one exception, the Half-Time button at<br />
the extreme-right of each row - see below) are used to filter out individual Kit-<br />
Pieces’ notes from the Grooves playing from the Banks. This function can be used<br />
when you only want to play certain parts of each Groove while you jam other<br />
parts live. For example you could filter the kick and snare so that only the hihats,<br />
toms and cymbals are playing, while you jam in a new kick and snare pattern.<br />
This mode is also useful for combining two Groove sets - for instance, you can<br />
use the kicks, snares and toms from one Bank and the hihats and cymbals from<br />
another. If you are working in this way, please ensure you enable Polyphonic Mode<br />
in the Play Options panel.<br />
