You can also use the swing-grid function to do the triplet.
(or did you mean a tripple,like a walz or something??)

put them on 3, 7, 11, 15... set the swingpercentage on 80%.

This is a Triol groove...

  Not quite what I meant. I don't know anything about musical timing stuff, 
  but if (as I do quite often) you set the length to 12 and put a kick on each 
  third step, it sure sounds like triplet timing to me, just not at the bpm 
  that 'temp' suggests. Some kind of conversion formula should be easy (just 
  not for me).

Triplets

I must be thick, but I can't figure out how to program triplets on 
the machinedrum. Anyone?

Thanks!

you're not thick, the MD just can't do them.

You can achieve triplets if you set the pattern length to 12 or 24.

hm, on second thought, all that would do is change the
time signiature from 4/4 to 3/4... not quite the same
thing as triplets, though it can "feel" the same in
some situations...

Why when triplets are asked for IE crashes my computer ? ;)

Triplets (Triolets in french) are a group of 3 notes sharing the same
rhythmic signature (duration) but are played instead of their normal time
signature you squeaze the 3 of them in the "space" of two (sorry I don't
have the vocabulary in english of the time signatures)
they are marked with an accolade and the number 3

You can do the same with septets (septolets in french) save you squeaze 7
notes in the space of 6

The version with 5 and 9 notes are quite rare (classical music)

It's a good work around but not for these reasonsŠ even if then the "normal"
notes don't have the right duration save if you use portamento.

If you take a 3/4 timing, if you need a triolet in the at the 1 position
it's the same as a 12/4 signature played 4 times faster mathematically BUT!

BUT you have to mind as you real time signature is 3/4 you have still the 1
time strong, and the other 2 feable (in 4/4, 16/4 then, 1 and 3 strong, 2
and 4 feable, 3 a bit feabler than 1)

And you have to fake the duration of the notes of normal duration (one time
is 3 step long)

Now let's make 5/7 measures :D

You're not thick =0)

The only way to get 'em (and it's a bit of a fake) is with the delay set to 
trips. Or you could use another sequencer... I do this and record the loops 
into Ableton Live and then trigger them using the Midi Machines =0)

Well, if you have the time signature at 12 steps and 16 length you
have a 3/4 time and it would be at whatever bpm the MD says.

I would say send the hh to a separate output and send it to a delay
