to every voice in your clip, so notes that originally occurred together will now be
randomly offset both from the grid and from each other.
Velocity adjusts how much the velocity of the notes in clips will be affected by the
velocity information stored in the groove le. Note that this slider goes from -100 to
+100. At negative values, the effect of the groove's velocity will be reversed; loud
notes will play quietly and vice versa.
Amount this is a global parameter, and scales the overall intensity of Timing, Random
and Velocity for all of the available groove les. At 100%, the parameters will be
applied at their assigned values. Note that the Amount slider goes up to 130%, which
allows for even more exaggerated groove effects.
