Is Beathawk's groove broken?

(Note: I did a search for "beathawk groove" and found nothing on the topic.)

Hi everybody. :) Okay, so here's the situation. Beathawk's groove isn't working for me. I have the latest version of Beathawk, running on iOS 10.21, no other apps running. I'm creating an idea that I'm really having a good time with, but when I go to add a little groove, it doesn't seem to work. I cranked the thing all the way up to 75% just to see if it works, and no dice. As you know, adding even the tiniest bit of groove can make a track go from mediocre to bangin in a matter of a second. Is this a bug in Beathawk, or am I doing something wrong? (I'm still relatively new to the app, so I'm just curious.) Thank you for any help you can offer me.

    Just to rule out the obvious, do you have any notes/drums on the even 16th steps or only on the odd 8th steps? For shuffle, often only the timing of the 2nd, 4th, 6th..16th step are altered.

    Of course mate. :) I've been producing for a long time and know that the even 16th notes are what get moved forward.

    Then I'm already out of ideas (don't have BH) :D

    Beathawks 'Groove/Swing' applies to notes when they are recorded.
    It is not possible to apply 'Groove/Swing' already recorded notes which is kinda strange.

    I think the idea behind this is to be able to do selective recording ie. some parts with groove/swing, some without.
    (I would love to see a way to 'apply' Swing/Groove in the Grid-Editor).

    Who knows what the next update will bring...

    The groove function in Bh isn't global. It affects the input quantization and auto-trigger but not the notes already stored in patterns

  • jwmmakerofmusicjwmmakerofmusic

    Damn. That is really weird since, whether global or per pad, really should affect already recorded notes and the like. I can't think of any other app nor software package that does swing like that. xD

    I dunno about its groove, but I just -finally- hooked up the Keystep to it and it's a pleasure playing the pads that way, much slinkier (technical term)....

    I've been hem hawing over a nice pad controller for BeatHawk... I love playing the screen but it could b a hair more precise...
