PerforModule - Groovification 1

Groovification is a painstakingly created set of Ableton Live Groove Files, presented in a Live pack that installs directly into your browser for easy navigation, based around a trio of principles...

Mathematical Grooves 

These grooves work best when applied to clips with straight swing (notes are falling directly on beat intervals). They will then alter the groove in a unique manner, delaying some notes forward and some backward, with the distances based on the chosen mathematical number sequence.

BreakFill Grooves 

Use these clips to transform a “boring” clip into dynamic movements such as crescendos, swells, etc. They are organized by timing interval. In general, the idea is to apply these to clips which are “transitionary” — either for clips which will be triggered a single time before a drop, or for looping clips during a breakdown. Either way, they are ment for “transitionary” states.

Quantize Grooves 

And finally the Quantize Grooves will snap notes to the nearest selected timing interval. You can use them to quickly clean up imperfect timing (using the “global amount” parameter to set the correction amount). You can also experiment with imposing different quantizations upon audio quickly and easily. All without the need to painstakingly manually select notes or use undo actions to return to the original feel (as would be required if editing quatization in the clip note editor)
