156). The tempo setting cannot be saved in the Rhythm Group.
Value: 5–300
Changing the Accent Strength
(Rhythm Accent)
When you play rhythm patterns, the velocity of each note is
determined by the velocity of the notes programmed within the
arpeggio style. 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.
Value: 0–100%
Changing the Beat and Shuffle
(Grid)
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).
* Grid settings are shared with the arpeggio. (p. 99)
Value:
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)
Eighth note triplet (three grid sections = one beat)
