Can't use Swing Slider with future instrument(Shaker, Tambourine)

[polyich]

I can’t use Swing Slider with future instrument(Shaker, Tambourine)

It doesn’t work.

but I can use it with hihat or other instrument.

How Can I use ‘swing’ function with the Shaker in future instrument?

And I wanna to edit the future instrument in my ableton live’s midi editor.

But I can’t find the midi notes which matched with the shaker.

Is there any method?

The Shaker, Maracas and Tambourines are using a special MIDI implementation that is tricky to edit by hand. This is because the instruments need to start sounding before the transient, the beat.

There are pre-made swing MIDI in the Grooves tab that you should use instead.

• In Grooves, select Shaker Pad or Tambourine Pad, as they will show the special MIDI, made for these “Future Hit” instruments…

Thank you. It works well. But, can’t I adjust degree of swing by percent% ?

You can do that to some degree manually.

• Drag down a Swing Groove for the shaker
• In the grid editor, expand “Shaker 1” (or what your Future Hit Instrument is called), so you’ll see all the articulations
• Drag the closest articulation note from the shaker, as close as you can towards the swing note you want
  • In my screen shot, I moved the second note in Shaker 1 (“Shake After…”) toward the play head, since that’s where the hi-hat has its swing note.
