Is there another way to enter swing, apart from the swing row in the tracker?

"FL Studio like" I mean; where you have this slider that you drag from 0 to 100%? I am afraid I don't like the sound of the swing when entering numbers into the tracker - I really want an FL studio like swing that is more precise? If it does not exist, maybe this could be a plan for a future update? The #1 reason I am trying out radium is that I am looking for that special swing.

I've been thinking about adding a swing slider (edit: since radium's support for swing is very low-level), but I'm not sure if a slider would make the swing "more precise". I think you have to look at the documentation for the swing slider in FL, and find out what it really does. Then you can probably do the same in Radium...

I found this example of the FL swing: https://www.synapticsound.com/fl-studio-swing/

This is a lot simpler than Radium, both in terms of simplicity, and what it can do. In Radium you have a lot more possibilities, but it's also more work to create/edit: http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium ... ramed.html

So, for instance, I think a 25% FL-swing looks like this in Radium:
5
--
4
--
5
--
4
--
etc.
(i.e. (5-4)/4 = 25%)

A 50% FL-swing looks like this:
3
--
2
--
3
--
2
--
etc.
(i.e. (3-2)/2 = 50%)


A 75% FL-swing looks like this:
7
--
4
--
7
--
4
--
etc.
(i.e. (7-4)/4 = 75%)

And so forth.

Or simply set every even 16th note to 99, and then you can edit the odd 16th notes until you find a fitting swing.

For instance this:

99
--
50
--
99
--
50
--
etc.

is a 98% swing.


And this:

99
--
75
--
99
--
75
--
etc.

is a 32% swing.

Hmm, thanks for taking your time with the extensive info, but I simply cannot get the same type of swing sound like in fl studio in this manner... maybe I am missing something? The fl studio swing swings in a different fashion somehow when I compare them side by side. As I am not as technical as you I cannot describe it in words =/

Maybe I am to dumb for this tracker at the moment, hehe, but I don't think they swing the same somehow? Maybe you could compare yourself? I could upload a .wav to soundcloud otherwise that illustrates it?

I have tried putting them under same % as in the math formulas you gave me for the tracker.

Hi, it's possible that the examples are inverted. Maybe try instead to use the lower number for even 16th notes, and the bigger number for the odd 16th notes.

Hmm, made some progress: I acidentally entered this:

99
74|
99
74|
99
74| etc, without spacing in between the lines, and that got me closer than so far to the fl studio swing but I dont think it's quite there.

Will explore more.

OK, will try

Yeah, I think you're right. When LPB=4, every 4th line is a quarter note, every 2nd line is an 8th note, and each line is a 16th note, and the FL swing operates on 16th notes according to https://www.synapticsound.com/fl-studio-swing/ .
