Thanks Colin, thats what my first thought was to do, 1 pattern of 9 notes long for the 9/8's, but since I had never used those time signatures I was confused, and being more of a play by ear guy, never learned much about it. Everything is clear now. > > 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. > > Best regards, > Colin Fraser > Sequentix Music Systems Ltd > http://www.sequentix.com >
