SWING
THE SWING WINDOW
Swing is used for adding a rhythmic “shuffle” to a pattern or to individal tracks. By default,
t
he swing will affect every second 16th note, starting on step 2. This is how the swing pat-
tern will be restored after a clear pattern operation and will give the traditional shuffle-style
swing for a 4/4 single speed pattern.
When changing to double speed mode in the SCALE SETUP menu (see page 38) you
need to modify the swing pattern to get the same result in single speed mode. In double
speed mode, activate swing for every fourth note, starting with the third note.
More advanced swing effects can of course be made with other swing pattern setups, but
that is outside the scope of this manual. To add swing to a pattern, follow the steps below.
1. Hold [FUNCTION] while pressing [C/G] to open the SWING window.
2. Use the S
OUND SELECTION wheel to set the desired amount of swing. The amount of
swing is set in percent. 50% is the default value, meaning that no swing will be applied,
and the maximum value is 80%.
3. The [TRIG] keys are used for toggling which pattern steps the swing will influence.
You can also have different swing settings for individual tracks. Note though that every
swing track will share the same percentage of swing. Here is how you set individual swing
tracks.
1. Hold [FUNCTION] while pressing [C/G] to open the SWING window.
2. Use the SOUND SELECTION wheel to set the desired amount of swing.
3. The [TRIG] keys are used for toggling which steps the swing will influence. Swing is per
default set to ALL which will affect the whole pattern. Press the [RIGHT] arrow key in
order to select individual swing tracks.
4. Once you have set the swing track and are satisfied, move on to the next swing track by
h
olding down [FUNCTION] and pressing the [TRIG] key corresponding to the track
