maximal value is 80%. The swing amount parameter is the same for all the tracks of the
pattern. Each track however has its own swing track.
Green <TRIG> LED’s indicate the steps that will be time-shifted by swing, and the [TRIG]
keys are used to switch their state. Use the [SCALE] key to cycle between the pages.
THE SWING TRACK
As default, the swing is programmed to shift every second 16th note, starting on step 2.
This is how the swing pattern will be restored after a pattern clear operation (see page 54)
or swing clear operation. This gives the traditional “shuffle”-style swing for a 4/4 normal
speed pattern.
In double speed mode (see page 55) you need to modify the swing pattern to get the same
result as was given by the default swing pattern in single speed mode, activate swing for
every fourth note, starting with the third note.
Please check figure ”Swing example” below for an example of the swing effect with differ-
ent swing amount and swing track settings. The first eight steps use the default “shuffle”
setting and the last eight use an edited swing track setting.
• When the Monomachine is locked to external MIDI clock, the swing amount will be
quantised to the resolution of the MIDI clock, leaving only four effective swing
amounts.
• Copy, clear, paste and undo functions are available on the swing tracks using
[FUNCTION]+[REC]/[PLAY]/[STOP]
