RE: garage and broken beat ..hats&perc
swing advances the timing of every 2nd note as set by the quantise rate. So for example, if you lay down a bar of 16th note hihats, every 2nd hihat will be pushed whilst the 1st, 3rd, 5th etc will remain bang on the beat. So the unswung rate of swing (confused? you will be) is 50%, ie every 2nd note is exactly halfway between the 1st + 3rd etc, etc. ....if you apply 66% swing, then strictly speaking you`re quantising every 2nd note to a triplet quantisation rate whilst the 1st, 3rd yada yada yada remain as is. So thats swing - every 2nd note is pushed, like a jazz drummer might play his/her hihats: tish-ti-tish-tish-tish.
