5 Using the Groove Check FunctionAnother highly useful feature of the DTXPRESS IV is the Groove Check function. As you playalong with a song or the click, Groove Check compares your timing with the song or click playbackand lets you know how accurate your playing is.The related Rhythm Gate function—in which the sound is cancelled if your timing is off—alsooffers you a great way to improve your technique.Groove Check ModeThe Groove Check function has the following two modes.● Numeric Display ModeIn this mode, the accuracy of your drum hits is shown innumeric display.The aspects shown in the numeric display are the averageinaccuracy in the timing of each hit and the deviation in timinginaccuracy of all hits. To use this mode, select one of themodes other than “Challenge” from the Rhythm Gate settingsin the GRV2 page.* Hit timing displayIf your timing is slow or you’re dragging the beat, themark will move to the right side of the display. If yourtiming is fast or you’re pushing the beat, the mark willmove to the left.*Rhythm Gate rangeWith the Rhythm Gate function, sound is produced onlyif the hit is within the specified range, and sound is notproduced if the hit is outside this range. The range ofRhythm Gate can be selected from three levels accordingto the degree of difficulty and if this is set to off, sound isalways produced, no matter what your timing is. Theselected range is shown in the lower side of the upper halfof the display.*TempoThe jog dial can be used to adjust the tempo for the songor click from 30 to 300.* Inaccurate timing displayThe average inaccuracies in timing as compared to thenote value set in page GRV4 are shown in numeric display.Range: 0 (perfectly accurate), 1–9 (in units of 1/24of a 16th note)The deviation in timing inaccuracy is 0.0 to 9.9. Ofcourse, the smaller this value is, more “in the pocket”your playing is.TempoYour hitAverage inaccuracyin timing (-9 to +9)Perfect timingGRV1~--æ√æ’æææ--⁄=130~Gr=-2œ0.0‚Rhythm gate rangeDeviation in timinginaccuracy (0.0 to 9.9)● Challenge ModeThe DTXPRESS IV automatically evaluates the accuracy of100 times hits over six grade levels from A to F and sets therange of Rhythm Gate according to the result. The toleranceautomatically narrows if your hits are accurate and widens ifyour hits are inaccurate.This mode can be used by selecting “Challenge” from theRhythm Gate settings in the GRV2 page.* Hit timing displayJust as with the Numeric Display mode, your timing isdisplayed with an icon.*Rhythm gate rangeThe set range of the Rhythm Gate is shown in the lowerside of the upper half of the display.After a pad (pads) is hit a specific number of times, theDTXPRESS IV evaluates the accuracy of the hits and setsthe range of Rhythm Gate automatically.● Hit accuracy evaluationIn the lower half of the display, the number of remaininghits and the current evaluation result (%) are shown.The current level (evaluation) and the status change duringplayback. If your playing accuracy result (%) was90% or more, the level is raised one step, and if accuracyis 60% or less, the level is lowered one step.• Current level (evaluation): A (best) to F (worst)• The icon and the meaning of evaluationÃ: Increases the strictness (as you continue playing inthe same way)≥: Maintains the same strictness (as you continue playingin the same way)À: Decreases the strictness (as you continue playing inthe same way)NOTE• The level (evaluation) when the challenge mode begins is set to D.*TempoTempo is not shown in the Challenge mode display.
