11.2.4. Adding Swing
Swing controls the rhythmic relationship between events in the selected channel (Sound, Group, or
Master). By shifting some of the events, you can for example give a shuffling, ternary touch to your
Patterns. The groove created by swing can be adjusted for each channel individually via the on-
screen overlay or using the Smart Strips. A groove configured for a channel affects all its
contained channels:
• On the Master channel, the Groove properties affect all Sounds of all Groups. The Master’s
swing is added to the groove set for each individual Group and Sound via their own Groove
properties.
• On the Group channel, the Swing settings of a Group affect all Sounds of the Group. The Group’s
swing is added to the Swing setting for each individual Sound.
• On the Sound channel, the Swing settings of a Sound affect that single Sound.
