Basically it's swing applied in beat increments with a "master track"
to hold the specific overall pattern

The path to implementation starts with simple swing

Re quantization - Yes and no. The whole trick to making convincing se=

is not to go too far in the editing. If you quantize with a broad bru=

limited. Without swing/groove templates it's just a lot more work. Fi=

tuplets (BTW ones other than triplets would be awesome) and dotted no=

get you where you need to go feel-wise
