What Groove DNA means here
ToneAnvil stores each hit as a lane, step, velocity and timing offset. Global swing shifts alternating subdivisions, while per-hit microtiming lets you push or pull single notes around that base groove. Exported MIDI preserves the resulting timing as closely as MIDI ticks allow.
About MIDI export
The exported Standard MIDI File contains tempo plus kick, snare, closed-hat and percussion notes on MIDI channel 10. It uses 960 PPQ so small timing offsets survive the export. Your DAW may display or quantize the file differently depending on import settings.
