On the contrary, I’m happy to share! I even had a workshop on the subject the other day and worked with the small 3U case:
Microrhythm study case
The case has “everything”! Dual clock, logic, probability, swing, delay, repeats, programmable sequences, division, euclidean patterns, gate lengths, randomness, stochastic envelopes (which is a fancy way of saying probability), etc. I’d say it’s quite a treat to sit down and work with this one, although I’m still missing the chainsaw, so there’s no chord/melody yet; it’s all drums for now.
It’s not easy to answer how Swing can be best used as it does a lot of things. I would say the most basic usage would be to plug it between your clock and a sequencer, to add groove to your patterns, but the different modes allow for some diverse results. Also, I’m more inclined not to think of it in a certain way, other than how it works, in order to not bog it down to a specific patch location. It can be a burst, it can be a clock delay, it can be a swing module, it can mess up a straight pattern in lovely ways, which is why I suggested it as a good module to have in the first place. It’s cheap and can liven up any drum pattern.
If it’s not obvious, I’m more interested in patterns that don’t adhere to the grid.
