Using an accent on a certain beat will place an emphasis on that, either on the downbeat or upbeat. This will be a short drum break ending on that beat and a rhythmic phrase by the piano and bass with a hit on the accented beat. You can use accents on the downbeats or the upbeats of any bar. To navigate to the beat you want to place the accent to, first select the bar, then use the arrows to find the beat you want to accent, and press the “Accent” button. The label will change to “Downbeat”, and an accent will be placed on the downbeat of the selected beat. If you want to place an accent on the upbeat, press again, and the label will now read “Upbeat”.
