11.2.1 Extracting Grooves

a new groove. You can do this by dragging the clip to the Groove Pool or via the Extract
Groove command in the clip's (PC) /

11.3 Groove Tips
This section presents some tips for getting the most out of grooves.
11.3.1 Non-Destructive Quantization
Grooves can be used to apply real-time, non-destructive quantization to clips. To do this,
simply set the groove's Timing, Random and Velocity amounts to 0% and adjust its Quantize
and Base parameters to taste. With only Quantize applied, the actual content of the groove
is ignored, so this technique works the same regardless of which Groove le you use.
