If so how? You can do either of those time signatures with P3, though depending on the length of the shortest notes, you may need to chain more than one pattern together for 9/8. 9/8 means 9 beats, where a beat is an eighth note. So you could set tbase to 8, and set the pattern length to 9. That gives you a pattern of 9 eighth notes. But if you need to use 16th notes in 9/8 time, then you'll need to chain two patterns together. You could use one pattern of 16 steps, and one pattern of 2 to get the required 18 steps of 16th notes, but it would make more sense to use two patterns on 9 steps long. 5/8 is easier - just leave tbase at the default of 16, and set the length to 10.
