I guess so. It's only Cubase that calls it that. Emagic logic, Fruity

If the 'groove' was pulling the notes towards a dotted or triplet feel,
I'd call it 'shuffle' or 'swing' to differentiate it.
'groove quantise' should perhaps be used when a sequencer or drum
machine is applying a groove more complex than a simple triplet feel,
but not using a template based on another recording.
I think that
'groove quantise' does have quite a specific meaning :
That was one sequencer's implementation of the term, but certainly not >a
universally accepted strict definition. 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
