I think that 'groove quantise' does have quite a specific meaning :
To take the timing from one midi part, and apply it to another.
So, you get the midi timing from a real drummer grooving away and apply
it to your beat. Then it pulls your beats to the nearest beat in the
groove, rather than to the normal 16th or whatever.
I seem to remember having some floppys of grooves back in the atari days
and doing this with midi shaker patterns and the like, but it's been a
long time....
