Swing
Adjusts the amount by which some events are shifted. At 0 % events are
not shifted. Raise the
Swing
value to increase the strength of the effect.
Cycle
Determines on what musical resolution the Swing is applied. This directly
affects which events will be shifted. Values are measured in fractions of a
whole note.
Invert
Allows you to invert the Swing function so that instead of being delayed in
the Pattern events will be triggered ahead of time.
How Swing Affects the Rhythm: An Example
Take a simple, regular one-bar rhythm with a hit on each eighth note. We set the
Cycle
param-
eter to
1/2
, which is one half note, that is two beats.
The following picture shows you how this rhythm would
sound
with the following settings:
▪
Top:
Swing
at
0 %
(no Swing).
▪
Middle:
Swing
at
100 %
and
Invert
off.
▪
Bottom:
Swing
at
100 %
and
Invert
enabled.
