Making a pattern “swing”
Specifying the amount of swing
SWING ....................................................................... 50...75
The Swing setting modifies the timing at which certain steps are
played. You can use this to transform a straight 16-beat rhythm by
giving it a slight shuffle character. You can adjust the amount of swing
in a range of 50 to 75 (%), and this will affect the timing of the even-
numbered steps. A setting of 50 will produce a straight 16-beat
rhythm, and a setting of 66 will produce a shuffle.
The Part Edit mode SWING SW setting lets you enable/disable the
Swing setting independently for each part.
1. Press the PATTERN key (it will light).
2. Use the [ ]/[ ] cursor keys to call up “Swing” in the parameter
display
Turn the dial to adjust the amount of swing.
The swing setting is ignored if the beat is set to “8T ri” ( 3 x12) or
“16Tri” ( 3 x12).
