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.
1
Press the [CLICK] button to enter the Click mode.
2
Press the [F4] GROOVE button, then the [SF3] SETTING button.
1 Note
Determines the note timing to which Groove Check and Rhythm Gate are applied.
B Swing
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.
NOTE
• Groove Check can only be used
during song or click playback, and
only from the Groove Check dis-
play called up via [CLICK] → [F4]
GROOVE → [SF1] G.CHECK,
while Rhythm Gate can only be
used during song or click play-
back, and only from the Rhythm
Gate display called up via
[CLICK] → [F4] GROOVE →
[SF2] R.GATE.

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.

Assuming the timing around here is correct.
