Adding Swing - Native Instruments Maschine Jam Manual

6.2.4

Adding Swing

Swing controls the rhythmic relationship between events in the selected channel (Sound,
Group or Master). By shifting some of the events, you can e.g. give a shuffling, ternary touch to
your Patterns.
The groove created by swing can be adjusted for each channel individually via the on-screen
overlay or using the Smart Strips.
A groove configured for a channel affects all its contained channels:
▪ On the Master channel, the Groove properties affect all Sounds of all Groups. The Master's
swing is added to the groove set for each individual Group and Sound via their own Groove
properties.
▪ On the Group channel, the Swing settings of a Group affect all Sounds of the Group. The
Group's swing is added to the Swing set for each individual Sound.
▪ On the Sound channel, the Swing settings of a Sound affect that single Sound.

1. Press the SWING button.
