Groove Check Results
In the Groove Check display, you can view the result of the check and see how accurate your
timing is in real time. With the center line being correct timing, hits indicated at the left are
early, and hits on the right are late. For details on each indication, see below.
Trying Out Rhythm Gate
The Rhythm Gate function lets you check the accuracy of your hit timing more finely and strictly. The sound is produced
only when you hit at the correct (allowable) timing, which can be specified beforehand.

Trigger Input 1 – 5
Here, you can set which pads (signals received via the Trigger Input jacks) will be
monitored by Rhythm Gate. Any (or all) pads can be selected, and up to five different
pads can be monitored at once.
The “ALL” indication shows the result for all sounds (from all pads). The “NO
ASGN” indication means no pad is selected. Lines showing other values indicate the
result for the signal received via the corresponding Trigger Input jack.

Rhythm Gate Range
The crosshatch bar graph which indicates the hit timing range (regarded by Rhythm
Gate as correct) is specified by setting the EARLY value and LATE value for each
Trigger Input. From this display, the pad sound is produced only when hitting the pad
within this timing window.
