Portable and functional
Designed to blend functionality with portability, SWING utilises 32 compact keys. These keys give you the ability to perform complicated and nuanced two-hand passages more freely with velocity and after-touch functionality. The inclusion of touch-capacitive pitch and modulation strips ensures that you can do more with the 32-keys than ever before. Add expression and emotion to every note with seamless and smooth transitions that engage your audiences.
Where others see 32 keys as a negative, the SWING uses this to its advantage to encourage exploration. Using the on-board Chord Play mode, you can play a chord with up to 16 notes with one single key, freeing you up to perform underneath your chord for interesting and unique arpeggios and melodic phrases.
A 64-step polyphonic sequencer lets you create any progression imaginable, with the ability to perform over the top of this as well. Now you don't need to compromise with your performance and instead can enjoy the freedom to play beautiful melodic phrases or backing chords underneath a complex evolving arpeggio.
Unleash your creativity
A specifically developed Control Tribe app lets you unlock additional controls of your SWING to expand on what you thought was possible. With the Control Tribe app, you can go as far as to use your SWING to alter the mode of your footswitch control from hold, sustain or a mix of both!
Unrivaled flexibility
Never before has a compact USB MIDI keyboard offered as much versatile connectivity as the SWING. With such a wide range of connection options, you can integrate your SWING into virtually any live or studio recording setup. Whether you need to control VSTs within your DAW or trigger sounds from your synthesizer, SWING opens the doors of possibility for more creative and expansive setups.
The USB output lets you connect your SWING to a DAW and control VST instruments with a comprehensive level of control or alternatively use the 5-pin MIDI output to patch into your favourite polyphonic synthesizer and trigger sounds via the onboard 32-keys. Additionally, what sets SWING apart from the crowd is the CV connectivity, allowing you to patch into your existing Eurorack synthesizer. Whatever way you want to use your SWING, integrating it into your setup could not be any easier.
