I think that using JS Bach, which is typically pretty rigid in practice, is a curious choice for this demonstration...

The more interesting aspect, IMHO, is the fact that it's not really random, but that a player will use the same offset for (x) amount of time, then switch to a different offset.

Thought Ralph (& maybe a few others) might find this interesting:

Sweet! That's what I wanted to hear!

Also important: is there any quantization done at all? (I assume no, but I do want to confirm.) The grooves I'm working with are recordings of actual drummers, so of course I want the timing preserved.

<t>(Figured I should start a new thread, since I have more questions!) <br/>
<br/>
Say I have some MIDI files formatted for BFD. I would like to import these as grooves into JS. Do I need to select the appropriate mapping prior to import? Does that affect the actual MIDI, or am I just telling JS ...

Thanks for the clarification!

<r>Ok, good to know! <E>:)</E> <br/>

I wasn't sure, I got the impression that it was only 1 bar. One more (kinda dumb) question (sorry to go OT...) - so if I import a 16-bar groove and use it in a song, does the song part govern how much is used, i.e. (given the same groove applied to all ...

<t>+1 on those, I was also just working with groove import yesterday & noticed all three things.<br/>
<br/>
Also, maybe you could clarify: Groove import is a single bar, correct? If so, would it be possible at some point to extend that? I have several longer loops (4- and 8-bar) that I would like JS ...

At the moment it's only VST and AU for the Mac. Ralph had mentioned working on AAX at some point, but I would think that's still a ways out.

The beta works pretty good. Still some UI issues to hammer out, but the drumming seems to be solid.
