Swing Vel (Swing Velocity)
Adjusts the velocity of the corresponding notes to accentuate
the swing rhythmic feel. Settings below 100% reduce the
velocities of notes on even-numbered beats (backbeats), and
settings above 100% increase the velocities proportionately. If
the result is 0 or less, the value is set to 1. If the result is higher
than 127, the value is set to 127.
Settings: 0% – 100% – 200%
Swing Gate (Swing Gate Time)
Adjusts the gate time of the corresponding notes to
accentuate the swing rhythmic feel. Settings below 100% will
shorten the gate times of notes on even-numbered beats
(backbeats), whereas settings above 100% will lengthen
them. If an adjusted gate time value is less than 1, the value is
rounded off to 1.
Settings: 0% – 100% – 200%
