8.1. THE CLIP BOX 93

8.1.3 Clip Signature

Using the Clip Signature elds, you can specify the signature of an audio clip's sample. This

setting is relevant only for display; it does not affect sample playback.

8.1.4 Groove

The Clip Groove chooser selects the type of groove used for the clip. Swing 8, for

example, applies an 8th-note groove.

The Control Bar's Global

Groove Control.

The Global Groove control denes the amount of the groove for every clip in the Live Set.

So, how does it work? Imagine a simple one-bar MIDI clip that has a time signature of 4/4.

Our MIDI clip is made up of 8th notes  eight of them  that play either on or between each

of the four beats. With a Clip Groove setting of Swing 8, the timing of our one-bar clip

becomes a bit like a rubber-band that is pinned down at each beat but exible in between.

The 8th notes that fall between beats can shift slightly forward. With a Global Groove setting

of 50, for example, the notes will wait until 2/3 of the way through the beat to play, where

an 8th-note triplet would normally fall.

16th- and 32nd-note swing works similarly, but on a smaller scale: Every other note shifts

forward, toward the nearest 16th- or 32nd-note triplet position.

Returning to our rubber-band analogy, we can see that Swing 8 can actually affect more

than just 8th notes. Actually, any notes that do not lie directly on a beat will be affected

when the rubber-band is stretched  including 16th and 32nd notes. By the same token,

Swing 16 (where our rubber-band is anchored to positions just an 8th note apart) can affect

32nd notes.
