What does swing do

[GRAFIK]

I always here people talk about using swing in fruity loops, but i have never used it, i dont know what it does, can someone explain it to me????

it shifts the position of specified "ticks" (sequencer grid points) earlier or later to create a more layed back or intense or jumpy feel depending on the settings. it adds humanization so it doesnt sound so robotic.

Kind of sounds like quantization.

How do you apply just a little bit, cause I know I always be settin everything back like 2 hairs in piano roll everytime to get it to sound human. I consider myself pretty well a master of FL, but I've never used swing? some master huh,

Seems best to start with it then to add later and build hits around swung tick.

Only thing I don't like about the swing feature is that is shifts everythin in the step sequencer
