Hey all - I was just wondering if anyone could give any feedback regarding swing settings that many people use. I love the sound of some of the deeper house and cannot really seem to get that swing - almost a delay toward the end of a bar. Does anyone know how this is done? Or if no swing setting is used, perhaps a different timing other than straight 4/4?

there is some midifiles you can grab and checkout see the main drumgroove forum page at the top - grab some files - i added a few swing house/trancy grooves - take the hats and use them in other patterns etc etc...

Cool man, good luck. I should have used the graph above. Only put the swing on the checked notes.

I'm a bit new to this and I'm sequencing on a Korg Trinity at the moment. I don't know muich about other sequencers so this could be a really common function or unique - however - there's a function to add swing by quantising your beats to a triplet feel by a variable percentage. Pongoid's comments above seemed to make quite a lot of sense to me, I can see how I'd shift some hits but not others on the event editor. How would you shift the required beats using this quantising method? If my beats are all bang on 16ths, would I add swing with triplet 8ths or quarters or what? I'm not sure if I've made myself clear but any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

I had a Jazz book around somewhere - it was more or less a students book, anyway it had a Chapter on the use of Swing in Jazz, and 8th note Swing - really helpful.

Hey Guys, could you tell please explain to me what all this drum programming jargon means. What exactly does 16nth Shuffle - triplet - groove quantising mean?

All I know is that Shuffle gives the drum-track a slighty off-kilter feel. But when I try shuffle on my drum machine it doesn't really make the drum-track sound nice.

Try using 16th notes. You won't really hear the shuffle/swing groove unless you do. Set your quantise/swing factors up first (ie 16th note quantise, 50% swing) and play a rapid hi-hat pattern.
Then change the swing percentage and rerecord the HH part to hear the differences in the feels.
