Micro timing settings
The Micro Timing Section of the Groove Match page allows you to
adjust the timing or feel of Virtual Bassist. The intensity of the timing
changes is controlled by the Swing knobs. The Swing knob on the
Groove Match page is connected to the Swing knob found on the
Virtual Bassist Play page.
Swing
Technically speaking Swing is the process of moving the timing of off-
beats of a bar backward or forward in time, this will change the way
Virtual Bassist feels when it plays and may also help you adapt the
Virtual Bassist performance to an existing recording.
The three Swing buttons (1/16 Swing, 1/8 Swing and 1/4 Swing) un-
der the Micro display allow you to select whether sixteenth, eighth or
quarter note offbeats will be moved and the Swing knob allows you to
adjust how far they will be moved and whether they are moved for-
ward or backward in time.
Virtual Bassist will play triplets when the swing knob is set to ±100%.
Bar Stretch
Selecting Bar Stretch moves all notes except the first beat of the bar
in a Part or Fill forward or backward in time, to accentuate the down-
beat.
