[Solved] Change Hi-Hat Triplets To Swing Triplets

Post by Classic_Man »

My present style uses hi-hat triplets for the chorus. How can I change this to swing triplets.

I tried clearing a bar including 'locked' notes then entering swing hi-hats but the dreaded cross appears and they don't sound.

I'm using the Country Ballad style with James Styxx and would prefer to keep this if possible.[b:4162da0823][/b:4162da0823][b:4162da0823][/b:4162da0823]

I'm not sure what you're asking. The Country Ballad style already has the "8th swing" setting maxed out.

Thanks for replying Azimuth.

My screenshots below show that my Country Ballad Chorus plays Hi-Hats as triplets and how I try to change them to play as swing but I have crossed notes not playing.

I hope this clarifies things.

Hi-Hats Triplets Play As shown:

Hi-Hats Changed To Swing But Crossed Notes Don't Play:

They won't play because the Country Ballad style is already composed on a swung grid so they are too close to the following hit. Move them one cell earlier and then adjust the +/- 0-24th timings to taste.
