A setting of 100% will produce the most pronounced groove feel.

This setting is linked with the Accent Rate parameter.

If you want the arpeggio to sound using only the notes that you actually play, set this to 0. With a +1 setting, arpeggio will take place over a range up to 1 octave higher than the notes you play. A -1 setting will result in arpeggio occurring over the range down to 1 octave lower than the notes you play.

This setting is linked with the Octave Range parameter.
