Adding “swing” to a patternSpecifying 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.

Swing setting independently for each part.
