| Rhythm Explorer AlgorithmsThe following is a list of the Rhythm Explorer algorithms and a description ofwhat they do.Algorithm Description Arpeggiator1 An arpeggiator that takes all the selected notes, splits them and createssingle note arpeggiations. Arpeggiator2 An arpeggiator similar to arpeggiator with the exception that it uses chordtones instead of just single notes. PhraseArpeggiator An sophisticated arpeggiator that creates phrases. Split and QuantizeAn algorithm that splits up long notes and then quantizes the notes to arandom value (between whole note and 32nd note) or to a randomly selected groove. Split Randomly Splits notes. TwoThirdSplit Randomly splits notes at triplet times. Quantize Randomly Quantizes to arbitrary value or randomly selected groove. Duration Randomly affects the durations of notes. Trill Creates a trill effect by splitting notes Flam Creates a flam effect by shifting notes slightly. Delete Randomly deletes notes. Delete 16ths Randomly deletes 16th notes. Shift Randomly shifts notes. Pat 8ths Creates a random pattern of 8th notes and groove quantizes the selection tothe pattern . Pat 16ths Creates a random pattern of 16th notes and groove quantizes the selection tothe pattern. Pat Trips Creates a random pattern of 8th note triplets and groove quantizes theselection to the pattern. Pat Swing Creates a random swing pattern and groove quantizes the selection to thepattern. Vel Only Pat Creates random velocity patterns without affecting pitches or rhythms. Click Apply when satisfied with the new pattern or click Original to revert to the original.Click the Prefs button to open the Rhythm Explorer Preferences dialog. Use the Arpeggiatorpop-up menu to tell Metro how to quantize or split the duration of notes itcreates when arpeggiating. You can select more than one choice simply by choosingadditional note values. Selected durations will display a checkmark. Use the Pattern Density fields to tell Rhythm Explorer how dense or "busy" a rhythm you want. Forexample, if you want a percussion track to sound more energetic, you could tryvalues between 80 and 100 percent. If you're after a more sparse feel, try valuesbetween 20 and 60 percent. Use the User Pattern field to choose the rhythmic placement of notes in the User Pattern choice inthe Algorithms list. For example, if you select a quarter note in the UserPattern field and then choose User Pattern from the Algorithm list, all the notesin the User Pattern algorithm will start on a beat, instead of between beats.
