Accent Rate
Modifies the strength of accents and the length of the notes
to adjust the 'groove' feel of the arpeggio. A setting of 100%
will produce the most pronounced groove feel.
Shuffle Rate
This parameter allows you to modify the timing of an up-
beat between two down-notes next to each other, to create
shuffle rhythms. With a setting of 50%, the notes will be
spaced evenly. Higher values will give more of a 'dotted'
(shuffle) feel.
