questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

That's not what I asked. Maybe such a thing exists in other software (Logic? Ableton?), but not in Cubase.

There is! :cool: "There's also a Swing slider where you can specify how much of a swing feel (as a percentage) to apply to the quantise pattern. For example, say you have a straight-16th performance (much as in the example figures) and you want to inject a swing feel: set Grid to 1/16, Type to Straight, and add as much swing as you can handle."

A 'swing' slider, awesome...how about a big purple FUNK button? A dial that goes from 'warm' to 'inhuman' for when you're making techno? A 'rudeness' macro for dancehall?

Haha, come on, a "swing" function is totally quantifiable. It's not about a mood, it's about the timing of triggered notes.

I think any noticeable delay counts as swing. I read a bunch of interviews with jazz musos trying to describe swing timing and they were saying it's somewhere between 16th beats and triplets, but not either.

Don't really know what you mean there.

Are you saying this: kick, snare, kick, snare ? Don't think that really has a name (2x4 maybe?? hehe)

or something else...?

Im guess im just thinking of KS-K-K-KS which is just 4 4. Im really out of my depth when it comes to understanding drum programming but ive been listening to some earlier stuff on Techtonic and its just so intricate once the hi hats come to play.

several slimzee sets have this little bit of female singing with 60s-style fingerclicks in that goes

"said you don't know nothing, til you know that i love youooooo
baby i know i can reeeach you, i'll showwww you, i'll teach youoooooooo"

and i am utterly addicted to it. what is it? is it in fact the start of 'i luv u' on some vinyl or one-away version? cos 'i luv u' drops straight after it on slim's sidewinder bday special

Ok, yeah if the kick is on each beat then it would be just 4x4. Apart from 2step and half step I don't know of any other special names (in layman's terms at least).

Really? I thought you were joking. How exactly is one kind of tone 'twice as baroque' as another, do you reckon?

I've no idea, I haven't heard it in action. Maybe it adds some trills or some tones in counterpoint. It just seems a bit too advanced for an old instrument.
