A particular sequence preset will sometimes play 1/8 notes and sometimes 1/16s, or sometimes swing and sometimes straight time. What gives?
The timebase of the preset’s sequences (tremolo, filter or arpeggio) is determined by the selected drumbeat’s Timebase setting. For example, if you select a drumbeat that has an 1/8 note Timebase, then the preset’s sequence will play 1/8 notes. The same rule applies to swing: if you select a drumbeat with 1/16 swing timebase, then the preset’s sequence will also play in 1/16 swing timing. To change the timing of the preset’s sequence, you must change the drumbeat’s Timebase setting.
