• Channel. Use this control to specify the output channel for all selected rows.
• Velocity. Use this control to apply a velocity offset to a pitch. The value range is -127 to +127
and the default value is 0.
• Duration. The Duration knob controls how long each note is held. The value range is 0 to 100%
and the default value is 100% (hold each note for its full duration).
• Swing. The Swing knob controls the amount of swing that is applied to the sequence. The value
range is 0 to 100% and the default value is 50% (no swing).
The default swing value of 50% means that the beats are spaced evenly. A value of 66% means that
the time between the first and second beats is twice as long as the time between the second and
third beats.
• Time offset. This knob lets you apply a time offset to all steps in a row. This is very useful for
fine-tuning the rhythm of a pattern. The value range is -50% to 50% and the default value is 50%
(no swing).
• Flam. This knob lets you adjust the timing of any flammed notes. A flam is a quiet “grace” note
that is added to the beginning of a louder “primary” note, resulting in a fuller sounding note when
played almost simultaneously. The value range is -50% to 50%. With a value of 50%, the flam is
hit exactly in the middle of the step. See To add/remove a flam.
