Al, I did understand your meaning of groove...I play drums a bit myself(not very good), but the groove or playing in the pocket, timing can also apply to keyboard solo phrasings, chord accompaniment patterns, ior even left hand bass lines, when playing in a group.

I think the Audya's drums are awesome.

My query was about being able to take Audya's audio drum patterns and edit them as described above in the Style Composer, or whatever Audya calls it.

The ability to be able to change a straight 8 to a swing 8 would, as Donny says above, double the variations of the preset styles.

I am just curious if audio drums can be "Swung" or if the user/player is locked into what groove/pattern the drummer has already laid down, or in the Audya's case, recorded?
