8.4.3. Master Swing vs. Time Division
As mentioned in the previous section, the Time Div setting must be equal to or lower than
the Master Swing setting in order for the Swing to be heard. For example, if Time Div = 1/4
and Master Swing = 1/8, the Seq/Arp will not have a shuffle feel. If you set them both to 1/8
then you will hear the rhythmic figure illustrated above.
But the results are even more interesting when the Master Swing setting is higher than the
Time Div setting. In the following illustration the Master Swing is set to 1/8 and the Time Div
to 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32, respectively. The swing amount is set to 75% in each case.
Technically, the description of what happens is "If a smaller resolution is selected, the swing
period will be subdivided in 2^n trigs of equal length."
Maybe the following graphic will help illustrate what is meant by that:
♪
: The smaller resolutions cause the subdivisions to happen very quickly. As you are learning about
the interaction between the Master Swing setting and the Time Division settings, it may be helpful to cut
the master tempo in half or less temporarily.
The Master Swing setting may be changed using the
The three Time Division settings with Master Swing = 1/8
As smaller resolutions are selected, the swing period is
subdivided into two triggers of equal length.
