Description

Accent

(Performer

mode only)

Controls the amount of emphasis on certain notes within the shaker

pattern, measured as a percentage. At low values, the groove is
static and the notes rather quiet, as if the shaker were being shaken
very gently and uniformly. As the parameter is increased, key notes

in the pattern are emphasized, creating a classic shaker groove.

High values simulate a shaker that is being shaken by someone who

is having a lot of fun! Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0%
(default: 70.0%).

Fill

(Performer mode

only)

The

Fill

parameter is designed to be set to

None

by default and

played manually during performance or automated in the

sequencer. By default, the shaker plays a pattern according to the

Rate

parameter on the

Advanced

page (see below).

When the

Fill

parameter is set to

Double

, the speed of the pattern is

doubled. When set to

Triple

, the shaker plays rapid triplets. Use

this to insert improvised fills into your shaker parts to add variety
and interest.

Release

Adjusts the duration of the envelope’s release stage, measured as a
percentage. Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default:

35.0 %).

Advanced Page

The

Advanced

page contains parameters only when the Shaker engine is in Performer mode

(see

Mode

parameter above). These parameters further adjust the envelope.
