We have broken down the Humanize effect into 5 main categories:
1. Tempo
2. Lateness
3. 8th note spacing
4. Legato
5. Feel
The best way to learn how these parameters combine is to try them. You can
always press [Undo] button if you don't like the results. For example, try

closer together, and a little later.
These categories are very straightforward and you should have no trouble
achieving the desired results. Remember to apply such parameters as Legato
and Lateness sparingly.
