4.4 Velocity Accents
While velocity sets the base for all notes, accents control how much
variation is applied to the velocities, giving a more natural feel. The amount
of variation is controlled by (ACCENT) and the actual variation shape by
the selected (GROOVE) template. Accents therefore operate in conjunction
with the groove function.
