Release Notes Fixed the swing/shuffle effect: This never quite worked well as it sometimes cancelled out some glide notes. Finally, this has now be rewritten so it just works. Now you can get those groovy shuffle swing patterns. Swing amount is a global setting found in the main sequencer/sequence menu. This also affects the backing beats.
