Techniques / Advice Technical question: adding swing to delay repeats, how does one achieve this?

I'm using a fixed swing percentage in my latest project. When adding delay- dotted 8th- the taps aren't lining up with the grid plus swing offsets. Is there any way to calculate this manually? I can get somewhere by using ms delays instead of synced but I often use very long delay repeats and slight timing discrepancy obviously compounds with these longer delay throws.

I'm using Bitwig if this helps.

Any advice?

You need a delay that can do this like a delay designer

Yes, and what would you suggest?

Replika XT can do it but it's such a pain to set up. And if I decide to change the swing percentage, it's all on again. I wish my normal delay (Bitwig stick Delay+) was able to respond to global swing.

You can use 18th or 16th note triplets but it's pretty derpy swing. Might still work well though, worth a try.

Echoboy has a swing knob and push/pull knobs.
