OS2XL: No Option for swing/shift control from Qlink?

Does anyone know if there are plans to re-include this great feature in OS2XL?

Or better yet, someone tell me that I've somehow overlooked a way to assign these quantize controls, and how to do so.

yeah where s dat gone??

Maybe nobody else was using this feature...! It's an incredible way to get a fast groove going, by fine tuning the timing in real-time.

i keep forgetting to check, but since drum grid edit was hugely changed i dunno where it ended up

BUT, just to comment it certainly was never real time, that's for sure, that is unless you had 1 hand on the slider and the other hand on the pads...and with that level of precision you might as well just play the notes the way you wanted em to be.

especially with quantize strength now

Nym-- The way I was programming with the Qlink/swing/shift timing was usually with note repeat on lock, and one element of the drum track (ie: closed hat) at a time. Play around with the timings while playing the sequence without recording, and then record it in at the optimal settings I came up with. I've had serious results adjusting the groove in this way, and also love knowing that no other machine has that exact capability.

ah yeah i remember doing that for a while, it was cool.

we'll see if we can't track it down, or at least confirm that it's not there anymore and have it listed under the features that aren't in os2xl

cosign. i do this as well. JJ should bring this back for sure. it probably just got left behind in the development schedule.

Sweet, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only feeling the Qlink swing/shift. I was bummed when I couldn't find this feature in the new OS... without any mention of it's demise.

I was actually looking for it witout a luck
I use it occasionally but it's crucial feature for note repeat and none of the features in os2xl ain't givin that kind of shuffle in realtime. Great for electro kind of tracks must have feature. I sent jj a report.

UPDATE: I just got an email from the JJ, and this feature will be included in OS2XL, but only on the drum grid screen. I'm fine with that! January '09.
