I didn't understand the Motifs function in Microchords. I can enter a chord on any 16th note of any beat. What does checking "Motifs" do for that?
I understand that it is meant to play the chord with the same musical / rhythmic pattern that has already been used.
The help shows this: "Motif: This option allows selected tracks to play specific rhythms without changing the chords. For example, you might want the guitar and bass to play a specific 16th rhythm in a funk song, while the piano and sax stick with the normal feel. Suppose you have loaded a funk style and you want a horn section to play a specific rhythm (16th-rest-rest-16th) in Beat 1 and 3 and just to rest in Beat 2 and 4. So, you check the “Motif” checkbox in the first and fourth slots, and the “Rest” checkbox in the second and third slots for Beat 1, and then you check the “Rest” checkbox for all slots in Beat 2. You repeat this pattern for Beat 3 and 4. Enable the “Change Excluded Tracks at this bar” option and press the [Set] button to exclude tracks other than a horn section. If you want to use this rhythm pattern in other bars, use the “Copy Chords” area. Now, when you play the song, you will hear horns to play hits interspersed with the cool lines that are part of the style itself. "

I've read all of that. Makes no sense whatsoever.I can put the same chord in the first and fourth boxes of Beat 1. Why would I check the Motif boxes underneath those chords?

So, I don't understand what happens in the case of putting in Microchords while checking Motif underneath them, if anything. I also found that the drums don't necessarily kick with the Motif checked.
