PAGE 2: SELECT THE SWING VALUE (SWING SELECT)
The display shows SWING SELECT; the Swing window shows the swing value.
Enter the desired swing percentage with the INC/DEC or number buttons (1 = 54%, 2
= 58%, 3 = 62%, 4-0 = Swing Off).
Swing shifts notes as specified while you record, so choose the desired value before
playing out your rhythms.
Background
normally defaults to taking up 50% of the total duration of both notes; adding swing
lengthens the first note of the pair, and to keep the total duration of both notes the
same, shortens the second note of the pair. This imparts the kind of feel found in
shuffles and some jazz tunes. Example: With Swing set to 62%, the first note of the
pair takes up 62% of the total duration of the pair of notes, while the second note takes
up 38% of the total duration.
