16.6.3 RHYTHM Swing
The third RHYTHM parameter, Swing , is available in both Arp and Note Repeat mode. On the
keyboard, it is mapped to Knob 5 of the Control section in Arp Edit mode. Adding Swing to
your note sequence can make it feel less quantized and sound more natural. Swing works by
introducing a delay to every second note in a sequence. Doing so often adds a certain groove to
the music.
Swing is a drag control that lets you select a value between 0% and 100% :
1. Set a value of 0% to play the note sequence without swing.
2. Increase the Swing value to add swing by delaying every second note. The delay length is
a percentage of the current step size.
To display the set value of the SWING parameter, tap Knob 5.
Using Swing in combination with the Gate parameter adds further variations in note duration.
For example, if Gate is set to 100% , KOMPLETE KONTROL sends a MIDI note-off message
before each note and plays back the sequence legato. If Gate is set to values larger or smaller
than 100% , then notes will be scaled after the value of the Swing parameter has been applied,
leaving the groove intact.
