Can swing be changed/tweaked/recorded on-the-fly?

Hi There,

Struggling a bit with Swing in MPC - is there a global/master setting that also affects note repeat and recorded notes as you play them?

Timing correct looks to be applied afterwards as a function - is that right?

I'm struggling to mimick some hi-hat/note repeat grooves I can do on the Tempest. And am unsure how to lay them back to MPC by playing them on the Tempest and having MPC record the midi if that makes sense.

Any pointers or help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

That would be a nice feature request!A real-time dedicated mappable swing knob with % like the Tempest...

Yes it can be done in real time and in standalone. I used it in the 2.0 SW it works flawlessly!

YES SIRRRRRRR!

What's demonstrated in the video doesn't work in standalone, unless I'm missing something obvious...?

Yup, does not work in standalone mode.

If you want swing in stsndalone use the nudge feature. Put your note repeat at 1/64T so you have the higest resolution to move slightly across the grid at your desire.

Highlight the sounds one by one and move till you like it.

Nudging sounds around and realtime swing are completely different features. As nice as it is to nudge notes around in small increments, it's no replacement for experimenting with different swing, note and strength values on the fly.

I hope the forthcoming 'bumper' update includes it.

Its better than nothing and you can experiment. I've done it.

Oh yeah, I agree, that function is dope. soon as I finish my video that shows you don't need an interface to stay on grid, Ima do a boom bap track using the swing but in 2.0, its best to do it there anyway cause I can record and make the video with my video program. I am down loading the full version of Reason 9.5 that takes vsts now, And I am going to get crazy with the Live and Reason connected!
