8.4.2. Swing

♪
: 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. The Master Swing setting can be changed using the
MIDI Control Center [p.109] .
Swing introduces a “shuffle” feel to the active sequence or arpeggio. 11 different settings are
available, ranging from Off (no swing, or 50%) through varying degrees of swing amount
(53-75%). To make a selection, hold Shift and press the appropriate key.
What the Swing setting does is shift the timing of the notes in a sequence, making the first
note of a pair longer and the second note shorter. Assuming the time division is set to 1/8,
here’s what will happen:
• With Swing set to Off (50%) each note gets ‘equal time’, resulting in a ‘straight 1/
8th note’ feel.
• As the Swing value exceeds 50% the first 1/8th note is held longer and the second
is played later and shorter. You’ll notice the sequence starts to ‘shuffle’ a bit and
perhaps sounds less ‘mechanical’ to your ear.
• The maximum Swing setting is 75%, at which point the 1/8th notes sound more
like a 1/16th note figure than ‘shuffled’ 1/8th notes.
Here’s a graphic showing the minimum and maximum Swing values in musical notation:
