Nice work! Nice that you also implemented an MPC-style swing. How do you generate samples? Are they also procedurally generated or are they chosen from a fixed set of samples? I suppose you're not planning to release any sources for this...

What is Mpc style swing? Does that mean you can push the swing beats all the way to the next time slice?

    You can get an explanation directly from the MPC 3000 manual [0].

    At least the original MPC series couldn't move the note to the next time slice. The maximum setting was 75%. That made the first note of each pair of 1/8 or 1/16 notes three times the length of the second note.

      Beat Maker's maximum swing setting is 132% greater than the MPC. I'll add this to the marketing materials, thank you!

      Thanks.

      That sounds like a very normal and unremarkable swing implementation, like I've used in every DAW and sequencer. But maybe MPC did it first, and I've been using MPC-like swing this whole time.
