When you do a and it's somewhat finished, on the MAIN SCREEN highlight TIMING and hit OPEN WINDOW. You should be able to adjust swing on any/all of the pads here. Look around in there and you will see how to select the pad or all pads and the amount of swing to be imposed and whether you want later or earlier timing. When you find what you want hit DO IT and go back into your sequence and play it to the hear the difference. I use it sometimes on hats and percussion.
