In addition, it allows you to add swing to all clock outputs and select different time signatures- both adjustable in real time- and also serves as a pattern programmer for the CR-78.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSWYNX transforms MIDI clock signals into MIDI, DIN sync, and analog clock outputs-offering not only absolute precision but also creative flexibility. With the integrated controls for time signature and swing, devices can be perfectly synchronized in no time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVintage gear finally gains that crucial extra: a lively swing feel that can be adjusted in real time in ultra-fine 0.5% increments- without any modifications or hardware changes.
