=== Swinging Simulation on Stationary Bells ===
For bell controllers, the swinging simulation parameters are in the Setup Menu - Swinging Bell Timing. For Millennium carillons with the T option, the parameters are set using the Management Suite. Swing time is in seconds for a complete cycle fore-swing and back-swing. A back-swing parameter is also available to imitate a rope-pulled swinging bell (often, but incorrectly, referred to as doppler). Various swing time settings determine the tempo of the ringing. Larger bells will naturally swing with a slower tempo than smaller bells. The tempo in the following table is given in beats per minute.
