Different swing settings

On the 2000Xl is there any way to set different sounds to different swing settings say for instance the hihiat at 55% and the kick at 50%?? whenever I change the setting it changes all the sounds

The swing setting is set for each track independently, not each pad....so I'm assuming you're recording everything on one track. Make sure you're recording each sound on it's own track (or at least use multiple tracks; one for each swing setting you want).

swing can be different on each pad in one track, you just need to set it, record the pad sequence, then reset the swing to something else, record the next pad. You can even just hit the pad and hit move existing and only that pad will be moved.

damn that was easy, I just got into adding swing on my beats that will definitely help, thanks a lot

Oh YEAH! Totally true....I forgot about that because I've always hated that it does that when I forget to set the swing back to 50 before recording....but it does work. I always record with no swing and then add it to taste later...seems to give me more control over the process. Good lookin out though!

Here is something else to think about! If you turn swing on 58 percent or what ever and its changing "ALL" then you might get turn off from it and think its not really doing nothing major. You must think a bout the fact a drummer will never do things the same way ever time so that means you must give your kick drum its own swing and your snare drum its own swing and the same thing for the hi hats. Now this is where i take it even deeper. Ill change the swing on my kick drum to 58 percent from bar 1:00 to 2:00 and then ill add different swing setter from bars 2 to 3 and so on and so on(so i have multi swing settings that go up and down and left and right on one sound). I do this for ever drum sound. On my hi hats ill have different bars make the hi hat shift early or later at different rates with different swing percentages. I do all this with the full levels turn off. I get a great groove this way. The thing to remember is a drumer will never be on point every time he hit the kick or snare or even the hats but at the same time adding one swing setting for one sound for all the bars will still add a lil stiffness too cause all you doing is shifting it over so you must make it do what the thing was ment to to and swing and change the settings over and over from bar to bar. A good groove is not something you notice but feel! no setting is a good one cause every song is different!
