-99 to +99 Cents
Applies a ne tuning pitch adjustment for the step note or MIDI output.
Operates in cents, where 100 cents is one semitone
A semitone is 100 cents but as the tuning is so ne, the maximum range of
micro tuning is almost a full semitone. This can be used to add variation
especially with percussive sounds while still maintaining musicality.

Creates a smooth transition when the step is activated, from the pitch of a
previous note value to the current step note value over a time period based on
the glide time setting. Glide time is in percentage which represents time.
A short or long glide time transition can bring a creative effect using the pitch of
a step note. Try experimenting by using glides in combination with other steps.
