Only thing else I could hope for is user defined groove quantize.

Hi,
definitly dont understand a thing about groove
quantize, it seems to be different from 'simple'
quantize, what's that thing ?

Groove quantize is just a type of quantize that instead of using regular 
note values for it's base (ie, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4 notes, etc), it uses premade 
'templates' that have different amounts of swing applied to make them not 
so rigid.  It's not the same as using the Swing function though, as many 
of the timings aren't the same through the template, they vary note to 
note.  (I'm doing a horrid job explaining this)

Basically, groove quantize is just more human sounding than regular 
quantizing.  It offsets the notes and/or velocities by small amounts so 
that the quantizing doesn't sounds as static and robotic, and has a more 
life-like character to it.  Some companies (namely Roland) even organize 
their groove quantizes by musical styles, so you get things like raggae, 
waltz, samba, quantize options.

User Defined Groove quantize is where you can create your own 'templates' 
based on midi data that you have created or imported already.  The 
software looks to see how far each note is from a standard 16th note (or 
other note resolution) grid , and saves those offsets as a new user 
quantize option.  This lets you import, say a midi file of funky drum 
loop, into your hardware, then let the software analyze and store what 
gives it that human character.  Then you can reapply those settings to any 
midi parts you want.  Perhaps Jesse can explain it better.

Regardless, it's not in the Command Stations, oh well.  :)

i see....
but defining these templates must be a kind of tricky,
i thing, i'll go on on sequencing with sonar i think
:-D

Well, if the software is written right, it's actually really easy.  :) 
Doesn't Sonar have groove quantizing?

Couldnt have said it better myself.  Sorry to hear its not in the 
command stations.  can't have everything in life i guess.  if i could 
get the usb thing working then atleast i could shuttle stuff back and 
forth more easily to and from the computer to process groove there.

no there are premade ones, called DNA templates.  I just got a 
percussion cd with a ton of them, would be nice to use with the mp.

Will O.S. 2.0 allow you to build your own drum kits?
