Grooves From Mars - About
Grooves From Mars - About
Use the grooves to apply different timing and feels to your midi tracks; use the patterns
to experiment and completely change your existing midi patterns.
Shuffle (aka Swing) debuted in 1979 on the LM-1, which is included in this pack!
These midi grooves will work in any DAW, or any software that can load midi files.
Please refer to your software’s instructions, as they all handle this differently.
The Ableton grooves can be directly applied to midi clips and audio clips. You can read
more about that process here https://www.ableton.com/en/manual/using-grooves/
