Sixteenth swing

[drautzburg]

Here is finally an example what it would sound like. It was made using a variable S and lines like

$( 4.75 + $S ) 16 3 80;

A true sixteenth triplet would require an additional delay of 0.08 of the second sixteenth. In the example there are three simple short pieces with

(1) delay = 0.08 (triplets)
(2) delay = 0.00 (straight)
(3) delay = 0.04

The first one does not sound good to my ears. The second is straight sixteenths and the third is the effect I am going for.

Frankly I am a little underwhelmed, but maybe the pieces are not that great.

Yes, you have to resort to $() for this since you can't contat. offsets (you can concat note durations). However, and sorry for not mentioning it before ... but much easier is to use the shift modifier:

    4.75 16 80 Shift .04

or if you want to use a variable:  4.75 16 80 Shift $s

Not sure what you are doing in the example ... if this is a drum beat you have too many args, but I'm sure you just typed too fast

I listened, quickly, to the example. I *think* I see what you're getting to. Just a few minor adjustments and I think you'll be there.

BTW, the new swingmode code probably will not help you much

Thanks for the Shift $s hint.

The example line was a bass track. In fact *all* tracks have been adjusted to delay the even sixteenths.  Doing the same thing for eights can be done with a single swing-mode setting, but for sixteenths it requires a lot of typing and looks ugly, which is why I was looking for sixteenth-swing in the first place.

Watch this space for an announcement later today or tomorrow ... I've got a few clean up things to do and then I'll put up another beta. I'm wondering if the 16th swing will work for you needs ... so let me know.

Best,
