Changing the bass pattern’s
groove (Swing)
The Swing function allows you to produce a swing-type
groove in your bass patterns by delaying the timing at which
notes with weaker beats are played.
1. Move the cursor to “SWING POS” on the Bass Pattern
Edit screen.

2. Select the type of note used to generate swing using the
TIME/VALUE dial.
OFF: No swing will be applied.
():Swing will be generated in units of eighth notes.
():Swing will be generated in units of sixteenth notes.
3. Move the cursor to “RATE” and set the desired amount
of swing.
50%:
No swing will be applied. Weaker beats will be played
exactly halfway between the stronger beats.
51%–100%:
Swing will be generated in accord with the specified
value. A setting of 100% delays the weak beats by the
greatest possible degree, placing them at almost exactly
the same time position as the stronger beats that follow
them.

4. Press [PLAY] to check whether the degree of swing is
correct for your song.
Playback of the drum pattern will start. Press [STOP] to
end playback.
If you select a different bass pattern or load a new
song without saving the current pattern, all of the
corrected data will be lost. This data will also be lost
if you turn off the BR-1200CD before saving.
