Any chance to one day get the possibility to apply shuffle to other notes than sixteenth notes?
In this thread:
http://www.d16.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=680
I already explained that for music based on eights notes (like a big part of Jazz music) the swing/shuffle is applied to the eights notes and not to the sixteenths notes.
The way Nepheton/Drumazon are handling Shuffle makes it unfortunately almost impossible (or at least not easy and only with a complicated workaround) to use the internal sequencer for music based on eights notes feeling that needs Swing/Shuffle.
Though I am aware that I can use my host (Cubase 4 who allows to apply Swing/Shuffle to almost any notelength) to trigger, one big reason for me to use Nepheton, Drumazon and Phoscyon was, beside of the sound, the internal sequencer.
Sorry to insist and I am aware that it is maybe not so easy to implement but well I love Nepheton/Drumazon
Best regards

Hello,
I want to thank Jacek who was so nice to take care and time for my question.
We have corresponded through PM and he sent me a pattern to demonstrate how the eights shuffling could be done.
For Drumazon/Nepheton users who maybe are interesting, I try to shortly explain Jacek solution.
1. Use in Drumazon/Nepheton the Tempo Scale 6 steps per quarter note
2. Be aware that this way you will need 2 patterns to make a 4 quarter note bar
3. Use steps 4 and 10 for the off-beats.
4. Now use the shuffle knob and these steps will be shuffled.
When shuffle is set to 0, the steps 4 and 10 are played as "even eights"
When shuffle is set to 100% (knob full right) the steps 4 and 10 are like the last of triplet-eight.
This way you get a swing from 0% to 100%
A little inconvenience is that you have to use two patterns instead of one, and the programming is a little bit more complicated as you deal with 6 steps pro quarter note.
Also you cannot shuffle more than 100% and so you loose the "crazy" shuffling function of Drumazon/Nepheton that allows you a 200% shuffle when you turn the shuffle knob full right when shuffling the sixteenth notes
So again thanks a lot to D16

One more thing teacue - the patterns length should be 12
Here's a link to above mentioned patterns:
