[radebrecht]

Bug Description

The swing fx doesn’t do anything. It should swing.

Reproduction Steps

1. make a 4 step pattern
2. add notes on 1 and 3
3. add “I 75” to FX column 1 on step 3
4. listen, the beat is perfectly even, should swing like a monkey

Occurrence

always, the fx “I” seems defunct.

Hi, this is correct behavior. Our Swing is designed with emphasis on Offbeats: This means that the even-numbered steps (2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.), are delayed or moved slightly later in time, while the odd-numbered steps (1st, 3rd, etc.) remain on the grid. That’s why you can’t hear a change following your repro steps. I suggest you try swinging the offbeats Thanks for your bug report and hope this answer helps. Let us know if you still have questions. Thanks!

Oh, btw, you can make it “swing like a monkey” when using Tempo (T) FX and make it extra grooovy

Ahm, I see. Tried it, works. I must have misunderstood the manual, as I was under the impression, that the “I” would work per row, now I see it’s sort of a status for the whole pattern. So if I want to treat a row as 16th but work with shuffling 8th, I have to use “m”.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers

That’s a great idea, thanks.
