SWING
This button opens the SWING
screen, which (for the selected track), sets
the swing amount between successive clock pulses. Swing delays each
even numbered clock pulse by a percentage of the current clock interval.
With a value of 50%, no swing is applied (straight time). The more you
increase the swing percentage above 50% the more your music will have a
‘swing’ feel. Metropolix’ supports swing percentages from 50% to 78%.
There is a single parameters accessible by the button:
