Adding a "Swing" Feel to a

evenly spaced. This is done by delaying the timing at which
backbeats of the quantized note value are sounded.

"PATTERN."
The DR-770 is now in Pattern mode.
2. Use [VALUE*] to select the pattern (user pattern) for
which you want to make Swing settings.
3. Press [UTILITY] so the display indicates "UTILITY."
The DR-770 is now in Utility mode.
4. Use [
] [ ] to select "4 SWING."

Values: 50%, 54%, 58%, 62%, 67%, 71%, 75%, 80%
Swing specifies the percentage by which the note will be
delayed. Increasing this value will delay the note more,
producing a stronger sense of swing. A setting of 50%
will space the notes equally, and a setting of 67% will
produce triplets.
