In addition to selecting existing templates to apply to the current clip, you can also edit or create new
templates. Select the edit groove templates option, and the groove editor will be displayed (Fig. 4.5.2).
The groove is created by adjusting the vertical bars. Each bar represents a beat division dened by
the each note = drop-down list to the right of the editor window. Raising the level above the mid-point
will cause notes at this beat division to play late, whereas lowering them below the mid-point will cause
the notes to play early.
The length of the pattern is set through the other drop-down list. In the image above the length is set
to eight notes, and correspondingly there are eight vertical bars.
