Properties

Host beat (or a free beat at the host's tempo) → step = beat / Rate, odd steps moved by Swing → step j plays when (j x Pulses) mod Steps < Pulses after Rotate → note-on with Velocity (Accent on the first pulse), note-off after Gate. Incoming MIDI passes through at its own sample; stopping ends the note. Audio passes through.
