Matrix Shuffle Button...

Does anyone get any joy out of the Matrix Shuffle Button?
I toggle that thing on and off and I can't tell one blind bit of difference.
Am I missing something? Again?

What do you expect?

It operates exactly the same as the ReDrum shuffle button -- it applies whatever the current setting of the Global groove / shuffle is. Check your groove mixer. If that's set to zero (which is, in fact, default) then applying shuffle in Matrix and ReDrum won't do a darn thing -- they are looking at the global shuffle for instruction.

Not on my rig. Set global groove to max and there is no discernible difference.

Shuffle, right? I expect it to do something. Anything at all!

There's a patch for 8th note shuffle floating around.

Sorry for the shameless self-promotion, but our sequencer RE Step Note Recorder supports shuffle in 1/8 and 1/4 as well as the usual 1/16.
What it's missing from Matrix is that it doesn't have patterns (due to us choosing to support per-step automation instead), but the workaround is to connect up to 8 instances of Step to our free Select CV Switch RE.
