Start the Groove Check
After setup is complete, start playback of the song ([SONG
>
/
■
]) or the click sound ([
ON/OFF]) and go back to the
Groove Check’s main menu (the GRV1 page).
Groove Check begins as soon as you hit the pad specified in
the GRV3 page.

Play as accurately as possible
Listen to the song or click and concentrate on playing the
pads accurately. The jog dial can be used to adjust the tempo
for the song or click.
If the Numeric Display mode is selected,
stop the song or
click and check the results. Change the Rhythm Gate setting,
pad type, or note value as you like and enjoy practicing.
* The Groove Check’s results are reset the next time song or
click starts playing.
If the Challenge mode is selected,
when the remaining hits
become zero, the final evaluation is displayed in six levels
from A to F. With this evaluation, the range over which the
sound is produced is set automatically. The higher the evalua-
tion (A is the highest and F the lowest), the narrower the tol-
erance becomes.
* The Groove Check’s results are reset the next time song or
click starts playing. The current level (evaluation) and the
range over which sound is produced are also reset.
