A4 Swing Advice

Hi there,

Question about swing, I can only go from 50 - 80 % here but I don’t want swing on some of my patterns at all but I can’t go below 50 % is there something I’m missing here?

Function > Swing page then level knob but won’t turn off or go below 50 % for me unless I’m doing something wrong.

Any ideas cause I on’t wanna have swing on all patterns I create.

Thanks

Rob

How much swing can you hear in your pattern when you set it to 50 %?

No mate I know all about swing, all I wanna do is have NO swing on some patterns, it seems the A4 is stuck at 50% and won’t go below. I just wanna turn it off for some patterns that’s all.
Thanks for the link though will have a read.

50% = no swing.

PS, love your Blofeld presets.

Thank you it was great doing the Blofeld patches.
I must have had the pattern set at over 60% cause now it’s back to normal. I’m programming a bank for the A4 and a sample pack for the Octatrack for 2015 so having fun here too. Anyways thanks for the advice here musch appreciated.
All the best

Looking forwards to both your A4 and OT banks.
Any teasers?

I was working on some patterns using some patches I programmed hence the question lol… I was like wtf, Iv’e adjusted something and the pattern was swinging all over the place till I checked then it was just over 60%. I had somehow moved the swing.
I’m just jamming about with the OT and A4 now so if I get something nice captured tonight I’ll stick it on my Soundcloud and post link here somewhere.
Will contain OT samples from my sound pack and A4 patches from that pack. I estimate February (late) before complete.
The machines are just a joy to use especially OT with my other gear midi’d up to it.
