Swing settings

1, 2, 3, 4
By adjusting the Swing settings you can offset the note timing
of the steps. For example, you can change a straight 16-beat by
adding a slight "bounce" or shuffle. The Swing value can be
adjusted from 50 to 75 (%), and will affect the note timing of
even-numbered steps. A setting of 50 will produce a perfect 16-
beat, and a setting of 66 will produce a shuffle.
1. If a pattern is playing back, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop
playback.
2. Rotate the dial to select the pattern for which you wish to
make Swing settings.
3. Hold down the Shift key, and press step key 3 (Swing). (Key
3 will blink.)
4. A value will blink in the display. Rotate the dial to set the
Swing value.
5. Once again press step key 3 to execute the Swing setting (key
3 will go dark).
If you decide to cancel without making the setting, press the
16, 32, tri, tr2
Stop/Cancel key.
The Swing setting has no effect if Length or Scale/Beat is
set to "tri" ( 3 x 12) or "tr2" ( 3 x 12).
It is not possible to view or adjust the Swing parameter
during playback or recording, or during Pattern Set Play.
