Re: [elektron] How do I get time signatures like 12/8 on the machinedrum?

2003-02-21 by frustated2000 <conapt@philipkdick.com>

Thankyou for your reply.

My question had to do with selecting note resolution rather than step 
length. I know that in the scale menu I can select from between 2-32 
steps per pattern. Thus, bu selecting 12 I can achieve a 12/4 time 
signature. But how can I program a pattern in 12/8??? In other words, 
how can I use dotted notes, like dotted 16ths and so on? I have yet 
to hear from Elektron on whether or not dotted notes are even 
possible!

I hope someone can help here......

Thanks in advance
