The Roll internal Accent allows you to apply Accentuation to the Roll internal Triggers, which makes the drum rolls sound much more natural.
The Roll generated Triggers are Accent aware, while the Accent Fader (in Accent Mode) controls the Accent amount. The Roll starts at full (Roll-internal) Accentuation and ends with zero (Roll-internal) Accentuation.
This means in detail, the first Roll Trigger is always fired at full Roll-internal Accentuation. The last Roll Trigger is fired at zero Roll-internal Accentuation. In case of Roll 3x/4x/5x/6x/7x/8x, the Triggers in between are fired at a partial Roll-internal Accentuation to generate a linear level change from the first to the last Roll Trigger.
All Roll triggers are played at the same Level.
Whether an accentuated trigger is played at a higher or lower level than a non-accentuated trigger depends on the Accent Amount (which goes from -100 to +100). Accent Amount > 0 plays the sample louder, Accent Amount < 0 plays the sample less loud (also known as ghost notes) in relation to regular non-accentuated triggers.
