Parametric Swing

Post by Slow Hand » Mon Oct 06, 2025 3:46 am

I would love to have parametric control over swing in the groove pool, or on individual loops, as demonstrated in this video by the maker of the Patterning 3 drum machine app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfknWHoxK8Y

The main innovation here is being able to apply swing to time scales larger than 1/8th and 1/16th notes (1/2 note, 1 measure, 2 measures, etc) and also adjusting the "curve" of the swing.

He demonstrates the "traditional" way @ 7:00 and then @ 8:30 he starts to expand into larger swing amounts (1/2 note) and eventually into a 4 bar swing.
