A Swing/Shuffle JS Plugin For You

Hi All, Here's a little shuffle/swing JS plugin I developed: The easiest way to get started with it is to play with the "Delay 1" and "Granularity" settings. For more complex grooves, increase the step count and adjust the other delay settings. "Current Position" is for display purposes only. "Delay Jitter" will introduce randomness. Here's an example of what it can do. These are very simple quantized loops, with me tweaking the plugin parameters: Please let me know if you what you think (or if you run into any bugs). Enjoy! -Bill

Thanks :) will try it out soon and let you know!

This is MUCH appreciated and a lot of fun to play with! Thank you so much. I've never played with a new JS plugin before, so if others out there don't know either, open the downloaded file in Notepad; right click in the left pane of the FX Browser and select "Create new JS FX..."; name it "Swing"; copy, paste and save the text from the downloaded file. I hope that's the proper way -- it seems to be working for me. :D Thanks again!

This looks cool! Thanks but... how does it work? I've moved all parameters in all possible ways and I can't make it work. You said "The easiest way to get started with it is to play with the "Delay 1" and "Granularity" settings", I've done it and I don't hear a change, could you please give us more details?

mercado, are you using it on MIDI or audio? this looks really cool!

Thanks all for fleshing out the details a bit. I forgot to mention that there is also an "Overall Delay Offset" parameter which allows you to delay the entire track (relative to all other tracks) by a certain amount. This is helpful for adjusting the feel of a groove e.g. by pushing the hi-hats ahead or behind of the rest of the beat. You can also automate it to create Steve Reich-esque phasing effects. Finally here is an example of the fun you can have with the "Delay Jitter" parameter: -Bill

cool! there are times when i don't want to quantise swing, so this could be a peach for me... i notice a -lot- of sliders.... could you please explain in more detail how to use them?

Sliders 

thanks bill... that info is helpful. iirc, swing is usually added to the second beat... but that is about all i know, so it would be educational as well as useful for me to have a few presets... in the meantime i will try starting with with delays 1 (default), 3, and 5, (as the first delay is labeled "0" which i assume acts on the first beat of every bar, regardless of step count). cheers, and thanks again for sharing
