•
bpm is the master tempo, in beats per minute. Use ext to sync to an external MIDI
clock source.
•
groo (groove): groove template. The options are swing (uneven distribution of pairs
of 1/8th notes), shuffle (uneven distribution of pairs of 1/16th notes), push (push the
beat), lag (sloppy drummer!), human (humanization) and monkey (humanization +
shuffle). This setting only has an effect when amnt is set to a non-zero value.
•
amnt (amount): amount of groove to apply.
•
ltch (latch): clock latch release time. This parameter controls the number of beats
during which the internal clock continues running after you have released all keys.
This allows the internal arpeggiator or sequencer to “keep counting” for a while
after you have released all keys from the keyboard. When this setting is set to 0 and
the arpeggiator is on, every time you release the keys to play a new chord, the
internal clock stops and the arpeggiator/sequencer is restarted. You might like this
effect (many vintage synths work this way), but it might sound a bit strange to have
the “flow” of the sequence broken at each chord change. When the clock latch is set
to 1 beat, the “flow” of the clock and arpeggiator are preserved as long as your
chord changes are spaced by less than 1 beat.
