Swing Grid Vs 909 shuffle

Hi All! I've been tryna recreate some drums from a track that uses a 909 and it's become obvious that the claps have a swing feel to them. It will be using the shuffle of the 909. The 909 I'm using doesn't have shuffle. Does anyone know how the shuffle on the 909 works and how I could relate it the swing grid in Reaper if I could suss out what swing setting is used on the track? Meanwhile I will play around and try and see what I can achieve. Thanks!

Try to set the PPQN to 96 from 996. That should bring it close enough to the MPC swing. zook

you should just pop that reference track into REAPER, line it up to a grid, and see what drum hits stray from the grid. this should make any swing/shuffle/timing inconsistencies applied to your reference track instantly clear and replicable in any sequencer you're using.

Seeing this topic, I finally got into converting the old 909 MIDI groove templates made by Logic Pro Help member Krikorola. Add them into the Grooves folder in Reaper resources (Options, Show REAPER resource path in explorer/finder). Then they are ready to be used with the SWS/FNG Groove Tool. Please note, in 32nd shuffle mode the pattern pairs 1&2, 3&4 and 5&6 are the same. So there are actually only four different shuffle patterns for 32s.

Seven steps of shuffle/flam from Main buttons 1-7, but button 1 was no shuffle, so 6 really.

cant sync my old MPC drum part to a click in Reaper. Its a similar problem, I feel. Any tips? Is it my project settings? Nothing ever aligns after20 measures..the 1s are off. There must be a set of rules somewhere that shows the Cause and effect of importing a wav file and the setting nescessary to sync to it,without messing up the wave file. GtrGeorge
