When I am in the Grooves tab, I place some MIDI in the “MIDI Drop Zone” and EZKeys finds similar snippets from its library. It gives two different measures of the quality of the match of each candidate, all of which are percentages – the higher the percent the better the match. What I’m curious about is what these are measuring and what the difference between the two types are. They are titled “Matching” and “Bar Matching”. Does anyone have an idea of what these mean or how to interpret them? Thanks!
“Matching” is a general match for the entire groove compared to the pattern in the Tap2Find box (the rhythm you added).
“Bar Matching” is another algorithm that compares smaller sections of each groove to the Tap2Find pattern.
An example is adding a pattern in Tap2Find that matches one bar perfectly in a groove, but the rest of the groove is totally different. This would yield a high “Bar Matching” percentage, but a low “Matching” percentage.
But for most of the time, it’s enough to focus on the “Matching” column since it will give grooves with a general feel that resembles the Tap2Find pattern a higher score!
I hope this quite advanced answer gave you some insight 🙂
