[. . . ] The related Rhythm Gate function--in which the sound is cancelled if your timing is off--also offers you a great way to improve your technique. Groove Check Mode The Groove Check function has the following two modes. Numeric Display Mode In this mode, the accuracy of your drum hits is shown in numeric display. The aspects shown in the numeric display are the average inaccuracy in the timing of each hit and the deviation in timing inaccuracy of all hits. To use this mode, select one of the modes other than "Challenge" from the Rhythm Gate settings in the GRV2 page. * Hit timing display If your timing is slow or you're dragging the beat, the mark will move to the right side of the display. If your timing is fast or you're pushing the beat, the mark will move to the left. * Rhythm Gate range With the Rhythm Gate function, sound is produced only if the hit is within the specified range, and sound is not produced if the hit is outside this range. The range of Rhythm Gate can be selected from three levels according to the degree of difficulty and if this is set to off, sound is always produced, no matter what your timing is. The selected range is shown in the lower side of the upper half of the display. * Tempo The jog dial can be used to adjust the tempo for the song or click from 30 to 300. * Inaccurate timing display The average inaccuracies in timing as compared to the note value set in page GRV4 are shown in numeric display. Range: 0 (perfectly accurate), 19 (in units of 1/24 of a 16th note) The deviation in timing inaccuracy is 0. 0 to 9. 9. Of course, the smaller this value is, more "in the pocket" your playing is. Your hit Perfect timing of Rhythm Gate according to the result. The tolerance automatically narrows if your hits are accurate and widens if your hits are inaccurate. This mode can be used by selecting "Challenge" from the Rhythm Gate settings in the GRV2 page. * Hit timing display Just as with the Numeric Display mode, your timing is displayed with an icon. * Rhythm gate range The set range of the Rhythm Gate is shown in the lower side of the upper half of the display. After a pad (pads) is hit a specific number of times, the DTX500 evaluates the accuracy of the hits and sets the range of Rhythm Gate automatically. Hit accuracy evaluation In the lower half of the display, the number of remaining hits and the current evaluation result (%) are shown. If your playing accuracy result (%) was 90% or more, the level is raised one step, and if accuracy is 60% or less, the level is lowered one step. Current level (evaluation): A (best) to F (worst) The icon and the meaning of evaluation : Increases the strictness (as you continue playing in the same way) : Maintains the same strictness (as you continue playing in the same way) : Decreases the strictness (as you continue playing in the same way) NOTE The level (evaluation) when the challenge mode begins is set to D. * Tempo Tempo is not shown in the Challenge mode display. You can adjust the tempo for the song or click from 30 to 300 (the tempo is shown in the LED display).
