Model D6 vs Groove Number

GSi Model D6 is a physical modeling emulation of a Hohner Clavinet D6. INSTRUMENT BACKGROUND It was back in the fifties when German inventor Ernst Zacharias invented one of the funkiest keyboards of all times. At first the intention was to make a portable version of a harpsichord, but it soon turned into one of the most used keyboards in rock and pop music. You will certainly recognize it in the famous pop song "Superstition", and in many other funky tunes of the seventies. Many police and investigation story movies and TV shows of the 70's and the early 80's had music themes based on funky accompaniments made with the D6, a slap bass and drums. This instrument can reproduce the sound of an electric guitar and can be treated with the same effects used by guitarists (wah-wah, distortion, phaser, chorus, etc.) for both rhythmic and melodic textures, since it is actually based on a set of 60 strings and two humbucker pickups very similar to those used in electric guitars. The sound engine of GSi Model D6 comes from the exact same code that powers the GSi Gemini and the Crumar Seven as well as the Crumar Mojo 61. Some more parameters have been added to the model in order to make the instrument sound even more versatile and adjustable to personal taste.

how swung is your track? groove number gives you the number. drop in a song, record a clip, or open the live mic — groove number listens and tells you the one thing drum machines flatten and great players bend: the groove. 50% is dead straight. ~66% is full triplet swing. most music that feels good lives in between, around 54–62%. now you can see it. and it's not just the number. what it reads • swing % — the hero. one honest number for how far off the straight grid the groove sits. • bpm — dual-estimator with an octave guard, so 174 never gets called 87. nudge it ×2 / ÷2 or tap the tempo to lock it, and the swing recomputes against the corrected grid. • key — chroma + krumhansl-schmuckler with a tuning estimate, shown with a confidence read and the runner-up key, so a close call never hides. four ways to see it • meter — the number, front and center: swing %, bpm, and key in one calm readout. • swing grid — the signature view. every onset plotted against the straight 8th/16th grid, colored on-time, late, or rushing. you can see the pocket. • spectrogram — mel-scaled heatmap, quiet to loud, low to high, with a frequency + dB scale. • chromagram — the 12 pitch classes over time, tonic marked. how it listens • a file you drop in or pick (mp3, m4a, aac, wav, aiff, flac) • a clip you record — it listens and stops on its own the moment the groove locks • the live mic — a running bpm + swing read in the room, with a VU level meter and a live spectrogram one more thing • groove → midi — export the groove as a midi clip, swing baked into the note timing. drop it on a drum track in any daw and it plays your pocket. hands-free • siri: "what's the groove number of this song" records a clip and stops on its own. "start listening in groove number" opens live. "what was the last groove number" reads you the last result. • shortcuts: analyze audio file returns swing, bpm and key for any file, so you can tag a folder of samples by bpm. open in groove number sends a file straight in. built to be calm and honest • fully on-device. your audio is analyzed right on your iphone, ipad, or mac. nothing is uploaded. nothing is stored on a server. • no account. no sign-up. no ads. no tracking. • strongest on four-on-the-floor and electronic music. live, acoustic, and rubato material is harder — so groove number always shows its confidence and hands you the ×2/÷2 and tap-tempo overrides. wrong calls stay visible, never silent. one number for the feel of a track. plus everything you need to trust it.
