3.3.7. Swing: Project vs. Current Track
The Swing feature is described in greater detail in the
[p.49]
chapter, but it is important to know that each sequencer can have its own Swing %
setting.
To try this, press the CURRENT TRACK button. After this, any changes to the swing
percentage will affect only the current sequence on the selected sequencer. Then you can
select the other sequencers and edit their Swing settings also.
!: Be sure to save the sequence after making an edit to its Current Track setting.
To make a sequence use the project-level Swing % again, switch off the CURRENT TRACK
button within that sequence. The project-level swing percentage is not saved with the
Scenes, sequences, or patterns, but it is saved with each Project.
The default Swing setting is 50%.
3.3.7.1. How Project and Current Track Swing values interact
The actual Swing value for a sequence is calculated in this way:
Project value + Current Track value = Swing value
In other words, it's a combination of the project-level value and the Current Track value,
assuming that the Current Track parameter is on.
For example, if Current Track swing value is set to 60 (default + 10) and the project-level
swing value is moved from 50 to 60 (default +10), then the swing value you hear will be 70
(default + 20).
In this scenario it is not possible to have a swing value lower than 60 for that sequencer, so
the lowest value you will be able to select with the Current Track parameter is 60. In fact,
the Current Track parameter will be only able to select values between 60 and 75 until the
project-level value is changed.
♪: The overall swing value can never exceed 75.
