EZD3: Setting the Swing Value

[GregLLG]

I’m new to EZ Drummer – I have version 3.

I’m trying to set the Swing using the grid editor. If I select a portion of a track and set the swing value (say to 50), then select another portion of a track and then come back to the previous track, the sing value shows zero. Obviously, I’m not doing this right.

Any suggestions?

EZdrummer version: 3.0.1
Operating system: macOS Monterey (12)

Hi,

the Swing value you apply, is considered applied when you leave that edit. It is not something you can revert back or change the amount of at a later time. Quantizing works the same way; while you are editing the part in question, you can change the amount but once the edit is left, it is applied.
This is not to be mixed up with Undo, you can of course Undo edits.

BR,

John,

Thanks for the reply. Just so I understand. So, if I change the swing value on a portion of a song, it immediately takes effect and changes the grove? That’s why when you come back to the Gove, it doesn’t show how the swing value was set?

If that’s the case, say I change the swing value to 50 for a portion of a song, then want to change it back to zero – essentially erasing the swing setting for the grove, how do I do that?

This seems confusing to me. In Pro Logic, when you set a swing value for one of its virtual drummers, it stays set so you can adjust it up and down or remove it all together.
