Ok - This is a weird one, but I just verified it over and over.
I am running JJ OS2XL Ver 3.83 on an MPC 1000 -
Running the MPC form it's internal clock:
If I make track with a 16th note swung pattern with a swing level of say 54% - all good
If I switch the MPC to be a Midi Clock Slave, receiving MIDI clock from another source
The Swing in the track is GONE. It plays straight, as if I had set the swing level to 50%
If I disable MIDI slave and just play the MPC from the internal clock --> The Swing is back.
Now, to make it extra strange, the issue is less pronounced with more intense swing settings. So if I make a track with a 16th note swing at say.... 65% then put the MPC in the MIDI Slave mode.. the swing is still there but less intense.
Try it!
MPC internal clock - swing at 54% - 16th note track... swing is all good.
MPC MIDI slave - swing at 54% - 16th note track.... swing is gone, track plays straight
MPC internal clock, swing at 65% - 16th note track ... swing all good
MPC MIDI Clock Slave - swing at 65% - 16th note track - Swing is still there though less intense
It's like the MPC swing less when sync'd to MIDI. It makes no sense, but it definitely behaves this way.
Thoughts?
