DTXTREME III Owner’s Manual

Using the Groove Check Function

Another highly useful feature of the DTXTREME III is the Groove Check function. As you 
play along with a song or the click, Groove Check compares your timing with the song or 
click playback and lets you know how accurate your playing is. The related Rhythm Gate 
function—in which the sound is cancelled if your timing is off—also provides a great way 
for you to improve your technique. 

Setting the Check Timing

This section describes how to specify the note timing to which the Groove Check and Rhythm Gate is applied.

This parameter is available only when 8th note triplet is selected in the Note parameter. 
This parameter lets you specify the third note timing of the triplet as correct. In other 
words, this determines how your swing feel will be evaluated with Groove Check.

When “3/8,” “6/8,” “9/8,” “12/8” or “15/8” is selected: whole note, 
dotted 1/4 note, 8th note, 16th note
When another value is selected: whole note, 1/4 note, 8th 
note, 16th note, 8th note triplet

-39 – 0 – +39
0 (standard): Assumes that the correct timing is exactly at the 
third note of the triplet.
-39 (minimum): Assumes that the correct timing is close to the 
third note at 16th note resolution. 
+39 (maximum): Assumes that the correct timing is close to 
the fourth note at 16th note resolution. 

swing = 0

swing = -39

swing = +39

Assuming the timing around here is correct.
