Creating a Groove template

With this feature, an audio file is used as a source for a new groove template. The template is added to the Groove list on the Quantizing Type submenu, and can be used with any MIDI material.

1. Pull down the Do pop-up menu and select Get M-Points.

The Get Match Points dialog appears (see page 593).

2. Experiment with the settings in the Get Match Points dialog until you get a sufficient amount of Match Points in your Audio Event.
If possible, try to get Match Points on the sixteenth notes.

P The Get M-Points function removes all existing Match Points in the Event, before it creates new ones.

3. If you want to adjust the velocity values of the individual Match Points, you have to exit to the Audio editor.
You change velocity values by holding down [Shift] and dragging the black squares on the Match Points up or down. When you drag, the current velocity value is displayed numerically beside the Match Point.

4. In the Match Audio/Tempo editor, pull down the Audio pop-up menu and select MPoints to Groove.
Cubase VST creates a Groove Template with the name of the audio file, and Stores this as a file in your Groove folder, which means it is also directly available from the Functions menu. For information on how to use the Groove, see the chapter “More about Quantizing and Grooves”.
