the entire track. The selected region is regenerated in the following situations:

Fills are regenerated when adjusting the XY pad or the Fills knob.

Accents and systems are regenerated when adjusting the XY pad or the kit piece variations.

You can also refresh the selected region, without editing any region settings, to play back a
subtly different version.
