Swingmaster is a device with one task, control the swing amount in the whole Live set.
Load up an instance of the device on any midi tracks where you want swing. Dial in the desired swing amount on any of the units and it will change on every device in your set. Add a new instance and it will immediately synchronize with the other instances in the set.
Sure, we can use the groove pool for midi clips playing in Live, but now we can control the swing for any midi coming through. External midi, sequencers, arpeggiators and clips.

Nice, good tool for quick swing.

Works really nicely and is can be utilised on multiple tracks at the same time. All the devices link automatically – so you only have to change 1 to apply the swing – MIDI map it for instant set wide control.

Fantastic Tool for Adding Swing to Your Tracks!
I’ve been using the Swingmaster by LDM Design for a few weeks now, and it has completely transformed how I add swing to my Ableton Live projects. The device is incredibly easy to use—just adjust one instance, and it syncs across all tracks in your set. This feature alone saves so much time and effort.
The functionality is top-notch. It applies swing to any MIDI input, whether it’s external MIDI, sequencers, arpeggiators, or clips. The MIDI mapping feature is also a game-changer, allowing for instant set-wide control.
Overall, Swingmaster is a must-have for any musician looking to add a professional touch to their tracks. Highly recommend!

Got to love a device that does what it needs to well, and no more. This has long been a nagging issue in my Ableton workflow, and I wished there was an easy solution to mimic hardware like, say, Elektron boxes. Now, there is!

While it’s made a little redundant by Ableton’s recent addition of the global groove amount control, Swingmaster still has plenty of uses. You can automate it, modulate it, and do those on a per-track basis instead of globally to all applicable clips.
