'Just send the notes', well yes this will give me shuffled time, but it will also mean I have to input the notes on a midi device or computer rather than being able to use the hardware's built in buttons etc.

Therefore, I was wondering if there is a way to modify a machine so that

 a) the receiver of the clock does not exrapolate (accepting swing)
 b) the hits I have set up on my drum machine are triggered by notes sent from a computer; but only for timing rather than note choice.
