Hey,
New customer here and I love MuLab - so far the best affordable DAW I've used to do both electronic/sequencing stuff and record audio performances.
I'm wondering how I can shuffle a drum beat? I'm working on a track that's kind of Kyuss-like in its groove. Reference, skip to 2:35 for the idea:
I need to set swing/shuffle the sequencer to get the groove right. A friend with a previous version said that it used to be available with a right click, but I can't find anything like that and I searched the docs without luck.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
// Arsenic.
Shuffle groove in MuLab 6?

Uh, nobody has replied to you, yet? 
See the little note timing gadget in the lower right corner of your pattern and session view? In session view it says [Bar] by default, in pattern view it's on [1/16th]. When you click on it, a list with all available timings comes up. There you can select "...swing" and you can also Set Swing Factor at the bottom of the list.
It's a little rudimentary for my taste, but it gives you the basic swing solution.

Sure does! 
But then it's about the other side of the equation, the "grid" itself. I remember in the olden days, how I was confused by those "fancy" custom swing designers. Seemed like all DAWs I touched had that. At that time, though, I had absolutely no use for it. If I wanted swing, I would go for triplets or manually shift stuff around. A perfectly repeating "humanization" seemed to me contradicting somehow. But that's just not what it is. In fact, a swing designer PLUS a humanization (percentage based randomize on offset timing only), could be unbelievably cool. All timings that are perfectly on beat would not get randomized, you know.
Anyway...I'm sure this would add yet another layer of seriousness to Mulab, having a custom swing designer, with or without the extra special humanizer.

Thanks a lot guys! That really helps - I was starting to give up on this. Excellent!
