The Swing function allows you to add swing to audio that sounds too straight.

Prerequisite

You have opened your audio in the Sample Editor, and Musical Mode is activated.

Procedure
  1. Open the AudioWarp section, and select a preset from the Warping Algorithm pop-up menu.
  2. From the Swing Resolution pop-up menu, select a grid resolution.

    This defines the positions that the swing is applied to. If you select 1/2, the swing is applied in steps of half notes, for example.

  3. Move the Swing fader to the right.
Result

This offsets the grid positions and creates a swing or shuffle feel. If you selected 1/2, every second position in the grid is offset.
