value is +99, the choices are "locked" to no ties
whatsoever; when the value is -99, the choices are
"locked" to ties always (and the effect is the same as if
absolute ties were selected). For more information, see
"Random Weighting Curves" on page 961.
Ties-Weighting Curve
0: Exponential
2 different shapes are available, which affect the
likelihood of a tie occurring when a random choice is
made. For more information, see "Random Weighting
Curves" on page 961.
0: Exponential
With a positive Factor (+), choices will be
exponentially weighted towards rhythm values more
often. With a negative Factor (-), choices will be
exponentially weighted towards ties more often.
Associated Parameters
Rhythm Multiplier
Multiplies the selected Rhythm Pattern by the
percentage. Useful for poly-rhythmic and fractal
effects, such as using the same Rhythm Pattern at
different multiplications. For example, if a Pattern is
{16th, 8th, 8th}, then using a "Rhythm Multiplier" of
50% changes it to {32nd, 16th, 16th}; using a
"Multiplier" of 200% changes it to {8th, Quarter,
Quarter}; using a "Multiplier" of 136% changes it to
{8th triplet, Qtr triplet, Qtr triplet}; and using a
"Multiplier" of 150% changes it to {dotted 8th, dotted
Qtr, dotted Qtr}.
Straight Multipliers
0: 25%
2: 100%
1: 50%
3: 200%
Selects from a quantized set of "straight" values for the
Rhythm Multiplier field. In other words, when applied
to a Rhythm Pattern containing values such as 16th
notes, the resulting rhythmic values will be straight
values such as 8th notes, quarter notes, etc.
Straight/Trip Mults
0: 25%
4: 100%
1: 34%
5: 136%
2: 50%
6: 200%
3: 68%
7: 272%
Selects from a quantized set of "straight & triplet"
values for the Rhythm Multiplier field. In other words,
when applied to a Rhythm Pattern containing values
such as 16th notes, the resulting rhythmic values will
be straight values such as 8th notes, quarter notes, etc.
or various triplet values.

1: Logarithmic
With a positive Factor (+), choices will be
logarithmically weighted towards the rhythm values
more often. With a negative Factor (-), choices will be
logarithmically weighted towards the ties more often.
Note: While exponential and logarithmic curves may
[0, 1]
seem to have a similar shape, they have slight
differences which can affect the outcome of the
random choices. For more information, see "Random
Weighting Curves" on page 961.
A Factor of 0 with any shaped curve yields a linear
table (straight diagonal line), and a random tie or a
rhythm value in the pool will have an equal chance
of getting chosen.
The following table summarizes the effect of the
various Weighting Curves and the Factor field on
random ties:

Selects from a quantized set of "straight, triplet &
dotted" values for the Rhythm Multiplier field. In
other words, when applied to a Rhythm Pattern
containing values such as 16th notes, the resulting
rhythmic values will be straight values such as 8th
notes, quarter notes, etc., various triplet values, or
[0...5]
various dotted values.
Template Parameters
The two Template Parameters select from 63 or 64
different Rhythm Pattern Templates, and load the
parameters into the current Phase's Pattern Grid and
associated parameters.
A Rhythm Pattern Template consists of:
• the configuration of the Rhythm Pattern Grid
[0...10]
• Random Weighting Parameters - Pools
• Random Weighting Parameters - Ties
Template
The internal settings of the GE for the set of parameters
corresponding to the chosen Template are never used;
rather they are always replaced by one of the selected
Templates from within the Min/Max range specified
for the GE Real-Time Parameters page ("MIN (Min
Value)" and "MAX (Max Value)" ☞PG p.66). In this
case, available range is 1–63.
