Swing

The swing parameter causes every other

note to be delayed by a specified amount to produce
the “swing” effect. As the parameter value increases,
the delay amount increases. At 100%, the delay
amount is equal to one quantize grid length interval

(for example, a 1/16th note (semiquaver) at a quan-
tize grid length of 1/16th note).
The figure below shows the effects of applying swing
and quantizing attacks:

Randomize

When

Randomize

is any value but zero,

the amount that notes are quantized is randomly var-
ied. This produces a more natural effect (sometimes
called a “human feel”) because notes don’t always

start or end exactly on the quantized values. Lower

Randomize

settings move the notes to random positions

closer to the quantize value while higher settings pro-
duce more variation.
