Steinberg GROOVE AGENT 3 Mode D'emploi page 60

Shuffle, Tune, Ambience, Pan, Volume and Output
Next are five knobs plus a selector that help shape the feel and sound
of each Groove channel.
Shuffle – When turned clockwise from it's top position, this knob
gradually adds a triplet or swing feeling to a straight (even 8ths/even
16ths) Groove. When turned from 12 o'clock and backwards, it can
straighten out a triplet based Groove.
You can create an interesting effect by adding or subtracting small
amounts of Shuffle values to various channels.
Tune – You can tune each channel up or down by as much as 12
seminotes (one octave) with this knob. Please note that for delicate
fine-tuning, you may want to hold down [Shift] on your computer key-
board for a more detailed resolution.
Ambience – Here you can fine tune the amount of ambience for each
group from dry to wet. The main Ambience knob (in the bottom left
corner of the module) always serves as a master control, so if you
make sure it's in its 12 o'clock position, it'll be easier for you to do the
fine tuning.
Pan – Most percussion Grooves are mono recordings (with ambience
recorded in stereo). You can make your sonic landscape more interest-
ing by positioning rhythm instruments in the stereo field, i.e. left to right.
Tip: If you place a high pitched, bright sound to the left, try panning an-
other bright sound to the right, for balance. Our ears seem to enjoy a
bit of symmetry in sound. Also, a wide sound usually sounds richer than
a mono sound, where all instruments are placed in the centre.
