The Swing effect can only be used when Quantize (above)
is set to a value other than off. This effect produces a
"swing" feel by shifting the timing of "back beats," as
specified by the Quantize setting. For example, if the
specified Quantize value is 8th notes, then the Swing effect
will shift the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure
forward to create a swing feel. If the Quantize value is set
to a triplet note length, the last note in each triplet group
will be shifted. If the Quantize value is set to a compound
note length (e.g. 8th note + 8th note triplet), then the even-
numbered back beats will be shifted. To set all tracks to
the same value, simultaneously hold down SHIFT and
change the value.
Swing Velocity (Vlc)
Range: 0 — 200%
This determines how much the note velocities are affected
by the Swing effect. This parameter sets the ratio between
the lower and higher velocity values. A setting of 100%
maintains the original relationship between the notes, while
lower values produce a narrower dynamic range, and higher
values produce a broader dynamic range. To set all tracks
to the same value, simultaneously hold down ( and
change the value.
Swing Gate Time (Gat)
Range: 0 — 200%
This determines how much the note durations are affected
by the Swing effect. This parameter sets the ratio between
the shorter and longer gate time values. A setting of
"100%" maintains the original relationship between the
notes, lower values produce a narrower gate time range,
and higher values produce a broader gate time range. To
set all tracks to the same value, simultaneously hold down
( and change the value.

Swing Rate (Rat)
Range:
• 50% (no swing) to 75% (maximum swing) for even
note lengths
• 66% to 83% for triplet note lengths
• 50% to 66% for even-plus-triplet note lengths (e.g.,
8th note + 8th note triplet)
This determines the strength of the swing feel, or how
much the timing of the affected notes will be shifted. To
set all tracks to the same value, simultaneously hold down
( and change the value.
