Swing
The third RHYTHM parameter, Swing, is available in both Arp and Note Repeat mode. On the
keyboard, it is mapped to Knob 5 of the Control section when ARP EDIT mode is selected.
Adding Swing to your note sequence can make it feel less quantized and sound more natural.
Swing works by introducing a delay to every second note in a sequence. Doing so often adds a
certain groove to the music.
Swing is a drag control that lets you select a value between 0% and 100%:
Set a value of 0% to play the note sequence without swing.
Increase the Swing value to add swing by delaying every second note. The delay length is
a percentage of the current step size (see section 7.7.2, Rhythm).
To display the set value of the SWING parameter, tap Knob 5.
Using Swing in combination with the Gate parameter (see 7.7.3, Other) adds further varia-
tions in note duration. For example, if Gate is set to 100%, KOMPLETE KONTROL sends a
MIDI note-off message before each note and plays back the sequence legato. If Gate is set to
values larger or smaller than 100%, then notes will be scaled after the value of the Swing pa-
rameter has been applied, leaving the groove intact.

The OTHER parameters Octaves, Dynamic, and Gate allow you to change the range of available
notes for the Arp sequence, as well as their velocity and length.
