  1. Well I don't know if it was possible, I just thought that automating swing would be a newer technological thing. I mean I know drum machines have swing, but is it an adjustable thing? Like could you automate it somehow on a drum machine? Even if it's by hand maybe? It just seems complex to have pretty much every channel in the song shifting swing at the same time. Maybe he just did a lot of work that was a serious pain in the ass to achieve it. He's definitely no under-achiever. I'll put whatever work in that I need to in order to make this happen, but I'm having a rough time getting it right. The closest I've gotten so far is moving the MIDI notes by hand, which is still a little messy. Maybe he just did it by hand and had a ton of patience? Or maybe there's a mathematical way to do it. Maybe if I was super analytical about it I could divide my grid up in the right way. I'm not sure. A real brain bender, this one!
  2. Hey everyone, sorry to dig up a semi-old thread but I found this thread on Google and have been searching for some clarity on how to achieve this Posford "morphing" thing. I tried crossfading between two clips, but that was really messy and sounded pretty awful, and then I tried rearranging MIDI notes by hand but it's also messy and not precise. Does anybody know how that Posford morphing thing is achieved? Specifically I am thinking in Fluoro Neuro Sponge from about 1:00 to 1:35ish. Someone on another site suggested that maybe it was swing automation, but given that a lot of Hallucinogen stuff is from the mid 90's it seems doubtful that it's what Simon did. It DOES work in Ableton though, except you can't automate it, so you can't actually get it in a song which is really frustrating. If I set my groove pool to 8T and set all settings to 0% except Quantize, which is at 100%, then I get the correct triplet groove. As I move the Quantize parameter from 100-0% the sound occurs, which is generally pretty correct, though I think Simon actually changes the MIDI pattern a bit too. However, in Ableton you can only automate the Global Groove parameter which seems to do absolutely nothing sound-wise when I move it up and down. Does anybody know how to achieve this morphing effect then? There must be a workaround or something in Ableton, or maybe another method besides automating groove? Thanks everyone!
