SwingDJs

I'd imagine others have found this by now. Certainly it's only swing with a little "s" and it doesn't work all the time - definitely interesting for those who are interested in "novelty" swing.

Does anyone happen to have the source code for this? It seems to have disappeared off the interwebz. I need to use it to show some locals that Pharrell's Happy does not, in fact, swing.

Yes. Grab it here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/210 ... ger.py.zip

That's just the python source for the swinger, not for the associated echonest libraries - I'm not sure if it'll work with the up to date versions, so give me a shout if you need the right ones (it'll take me a while to put it together, as I installed it all years ago on my machine, so I'll need to figure out where the installers etc are)

Awesome. Can't wait to get my swing on. thanks for the freebie guys

Does anyone have this working? Years ago, I tried to install it to re-make the swing-i-fied version of "Every Breath You Take" for a music class I was teaching, but I couldn't get it to work, alas.

I do have a working installation, yes. Although I can't quite remember how I did it

I can try and figure it out, if you'd like. Alternatively, I can run a track through it for you, if you just want one track done.

BTW - I've done a few experiments with this thing, mostly for a workshop to help prove the point that a swung rhythm doth NOT automatically make a piece of swing music.

Some work better than others, but my absolute favourite was MC Hammer (U Can't Touch This, of course)
Awful, but hilarious.
