# grooves
|
||
|
||
a **groove** is the equivalent of repeating `0Fxx` effects on each row to get a cycle of speeds. for example, a groove of "6 4 5 3" makes the first row 6 ticks long, the next row 4 ticks, then 5, 3, 6, 4, 5, 3...
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
to set the song's groove:
|
||
- open the "Speed" window.
|
||
- click the "Speed" button so it becomes "Speeds" (effectively a groove of two speeds).
|
||
- click again so it becomes "Groove".
|
||
- enter a sequence of up to 16 speeds.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
the "Grooves" window displays the list of groove patterns in the song.
|
||
- the **`+`** button adds a new groove pattern; click in the groove pattern to edit it.
|
||
- the **`×`** buttons remove them.
|
||
|
||
a single `09xx` command will switch to the matching numbered groove pattern.
|
||
|
||
## tempo
|
||
|
||
this is a non-exhaustive list of grooves and their equivalent tempo in BPM.
|
||
|
||
note: this table assumes a song's tick rate setting is left at its default value for the chosen engine speed: 60 for NTSC, or 50 for PAL.
