---How to Program Ghjetto Trippz If you're starting from scratch of not trying to line up triplet phrases with phrases that have a default timing, it's quite easy: put a hop on row 0C of every pattern! then you can do something like a simple kick-snare-kick-snare pattern, but with room to throw trips in at will: %% 00 D#3 I- 000 01 --- I- 000 02 --- I- 000 03 D#8 I- VFF 04 --- I- K00 05 --- I- 000 06 D#3 I- 000 07 --- I- 000 08 --- I- 000 09 D#8 I- VEF 0A --- I- K00 0B --- I- 000 0C --- I- H00 0D F-6 I- 000 0E A-6 I- 000 0F G-6 I- 000 %% this method is also nice because it can be used with any groove you like, for funkier trippz =) ---How to Program Proper Triplets It's easy to program TripletNotes by using grooves. If we assume that the base groove is on 6 ticks, a beat will be all in all 4*6=24 ticks long... Like this (in phrase sequencer): Step 0: 6 ticks Step 1: 6 ticks Step 2: 6 ticks + Step 3: 6 ticks ------------------ = 1 Beat: 24 ticks If we want to program a triplet, we want three steps to be exactly as long as a beat. That is, the 24 ticks of a beat should be divided on three steps. 24 divided by 3 gives us 8 ticks a step. So we can then program an alternate groove with 8 ticks per step, and the result would be like this: Step 0: 8 ticks Step 1: 8 ticks + Step 2: 8 ticks ------------------ = 1 Beat: 24 ticks A full 4/4 measure of four beats would then be only 3*4=12 steps long, so one would have to make the phrase hop to next phrase on step 12 already, by using the H command. Another way to do it, without using the H command, is to program a groove with a dummy tick; so that a 4/4 measure will fill out all 16 steps in the phrase screen. Like this: Step 0: 8 ticks Step 1: 8 ticks Step 2: 7 ticks + Step 3: 1 ticks (dummy tick) ----------------- = 1 Beat: 24 ticks In the phrases, the steps 3, 7, B and F are now dummy steps that should be ignored. -- Johan ---- When using grooves that's not evenly dividable by 3, I found that the best result is to have fewer ticks in the beginning. Like this: Using a shuffled feel for 16ths... Step 0: c ticks Step 1: 7 ticks and tripplet 8ths. Step 0: c ticks Step 1: d ticks Step 2: d ticks Or, another shuffled feel for 16ths, Step 0: a ticks Step 1: 7 ticks will result in the following groove to require tripplet 8ths: Step 0: b ticks Step 1: b ticks Step 2: c ticks -- trash ---- Here's how I do triplets: Assuming the 16-step phrase represents 1 measure of 4 beats, and the groove for all other channels is 6. %% 00 C 3 I00 G00 01 C 3 I00 000 02 --- I00 000 03 C 3 I00 000 04 C 3 I00 000 05 C 3 I00 000 06 --- I00 000 07 C 3 I00 000 08 C 3 I00 000 09 C 3 I00 000 0A --- I00 000 0B C 3 I00 000 0C C 3 I00 000 0D C 3 I00 000 0E --- I00 000 0F C 3 I00 000 %% GROOVE 00 0 8 1 4 2 4 3 8 Each note gets 8 tics and it lines up with the other channels Bud
