The accentuator in XO really helps get a natural feel and dynamic variation going on, quickly and without the hassle of changing each notes velocity. I request that it be copied. I like to program exactly the beats i want and their variations, for triggering, so some more musical, predictable, dynamic assistance as opposed to randomization, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi dnbhead,
Isn’t already possible to simply lock the steps that emphasize the accents?

Hi Audiomodern,
OK new user so forgive me. I shall have to experiment with the locked steps thing. However the accentuator requires less input and preparation, and is predictable due to the implementation of the time division sliders. For example accentuating 1/8 notes etc. and mixing them all up.
