Rhythm Explorer Preferences

Use the Pattern Density fields to tell Rhythm Explorer how dense or "busy" a rhythm you want. For example, if you want a percussion track to sound more energetic, you could try values between 80 and 100 percent. If you're after a more sparse feel, try values between 20 and 60 percent. Use the User Pattern field (not applicable to Metro SE) to choose the rhythmic placement of notes for the User Pattern choice in the Algorithms list. For example, if you select a quarter note in the User Pattern field and then choose User Pattern from the Algorithm list, all the notes in the User Pattern algorithm will start on a whole beat, instead of between beats.

Use the Arpeggiator pop-up menu to tell Metro how to quantize or split the duration of notes it creates when arpeggiating (arpeggiation is not available in Metro SE). You can select more than one choice simply by choosing additional note values. Selected durations will display a checkmark.
