mpc2000 swing function

How come when i play around with the swing feature, it seem like nothing is happening.

what am i doing wrong?

you are either:

1) doing it wrong

2) deaf

3) assigning swing to a pad that has no sample on it, thus swinging nothing.

maybe.... which is why i came here for help or pointers.

when i open the window, i hit the pad/sound i want to swing, i press do it, but it doesnt sound like anything happened.

you have to adjust the swing percentage also, while the window is open.

i bet its because you didnt select which bars to swing...

i always forget that step when i do it. im usin mpc 2000 btw....but after you select which pad to swing, under that is which bars to add swing to. i usually select bars 1-9 (when im working on an 8 bar sequence...)

hope that helps


well, thats assuming your trying to add swing AFTER you've recorded your tracks

in the swing window, change the percentages. after that record your sequence, and you will hear a difference. Try like 65-70% swing and you'll hear it.

it was the bars thing. thanks for the more informative responses.

Most important thing:

[DO IT]


That always **** with me.
