Swing settings

By adjusting the Swing settings you can offset the note timing of the steps. For example, you can change a straight 16-beat by adding a slight "bounce" or shuffle. The Swing value can be adjusted from 50 to 75 (%), and will affect the note timing of even-numbered steps. A setting of 50 will produce a perfect 16- beat, and a setting of 66 will produce a shuffle.

1.If a pattern is playing back, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop playback.

2.Rotate the dial to select the pattern for which you wish to make Swing settings.

3.Hold down the Shift key, and press step key 3 (Swing). (Key 3 will blink.)

4.A value will blink in the display. Rotate the dial to set the Swing value.

5.Once again press step key 3 to execute the Swing setting (key 3 will go dark).

If you decide to cancel without making the setting, press the Stop/Cancel key.

The Swing setting has no effect if Length or Scale/Beat is set to "tri" ( x 12) or "tr2" ( x 12).

It is not possible to view or adjust the Swing parameter during playback or recording, or during Pattern Set Play.
