Modifiers
The Modifiers section on the Groove Match page allows you to create
variations of Parts and Fills quickly and easily. A Modifier is simply a
preset which shifts or mutes notes in a selected Part or Fill to change
its rhythmic structure.
Each Modifier produces two versions (A & B).
The table below explains how each Modifier will change the selected
Part or Fill.
The Macro Groove Display is updated when a Part or Fill is modified.
