    AUTO (DAW\/PERFORM)<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

    –<\/span> Groove Shaper intelligently switches between DAW and Perform modes based on how you’re using the plugin. When your DAW is not in playback, Groove Shaper enters <\/span>PERFORM<\/strong> mode, optimizing for live performance with MIDI devices. Conversely, when your DAW is playing, Groove Shaper switches to <\/span>DAW<\/span> mode, ideal for working with MIDI clips in your DAW.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      PERFORM<\/b><\/span> –<\/span> <\/span><\/h4>\n

      This mode is optimized for live playback using MIDI devices. Once the plugin receives MIDI input, the sequencer activates instantly, stops immediately when the MIDI data input stops. The sequencer will reset to the top when MIDI input is not received. This ensures smooth and precise performances from your MIDI input device, allowing for seamless play and stop transitions.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        DAW<\/b> – <\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

        This mode is specifically tailored for use when a MIDI clip is present in your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). It starts sequencing upon receiving MIDI signals, similar to Perform mode, but with a distinction: it waits for a brief buffer period after MIDI input. If no further MIDI input is detected during this buffer, the sequencer stops, ensuring clean sequences or playback without overlapping notes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
