Explanation
This selects the rhythm's basic performance Style.
This sets the particular note division and resolution in a "single grid" used in creating the pattern in an
Rhythm Pattern, and how much of a "shuffle" syncopation is to be to applied (none/weak/strong) to it
(grid type).
1/4: Quarter note (one grid section = one beat)
1/8: Eighth note (two grid sections = one beat)
1/8L: Eighth note shuffle Light (two grid sections = one beat, with a light shuffle)
1/8H: Eighth note shuffle Heavy (two grid sections = one beat, with a heavy shuffle)
1/12: Eighth note triplet (three grid sections = one beat)
1/16: Sixteenth note (four grid sections = one beat)
1/16L: Sixteenth note shuffle Light (four grid sections = one beat, with a light shuffle)
1/16H: Sixteenth note shuffle Heavy (four grid sections = one beat, with a heavy shuffle)
1/24: Sixteenth note triplet (six grid sections = one beat)
* Grid settings are shared with the arpeggio.
This determines whether the sounds are played staccato (short and clipped), or tenuto (fully drawn out).
30–120: For example, when set to "30," the length of the note in a grid (or when a series of grids is
connected with ties, the final grid) is 30% of the full length of the note set in the grid type.
Full: Even if the linked grid is not connected with a tie, the same note continues to sound until the
point at which the next new sound is specified.
* Duration settings are shared with the arpeggio.
* This has no effect if the Tone Env Mode parameter (p. 58) is set to "NO-SUS."
Specifies the loudness of the rhythm pattern.
REAL: If you want the velocity value of each note to depend on how strongly you play the keyboard,
set this parameter to REAL.
1–127: If you want each note to have a fixed velocity regardless of how strongly you play the key-
board, set this parameter to the desired value.
When you play rhythm patterns, the velocity of each note is determined by the velocity of the notes pro-
grammed within the rhythm pattern. You can adjust the amount ("spread") of this dynamic variation.
With a setting of "100," the notes will have the velocities that are programmed by the rhythm pattern.
With a setting of "0," all notes will be sounded at a fixed velocity.
* You can also use a REALTIME CONTROL knob to control this.
