creating simple global swing function ... like in Live7

Post by Scaper7 » Fri Nov 26, 2021 3:05 pm

a simple workaround for the lack of global swing since introduction of groove pool, post Live7

for global 16th swing:

open your default set and open a groove map called Swing16ths73 ...

assign all new clips to use this groove map - adjust the amount of swing applied to all clips using 'global groove amount'

additionally, assign a MIDI encoder to control 'global groove amount'

for ease of use, i have this setup saved as part of my default set

apart from the minor annoyance of needing to assign any new clips to the groove map, this effectively works like 'global groove amount' did back in Live7 - or 'global swing' on Maschine
