One thing I`m not getting the hang of is making fills though. Let`s say I have a 4/4 song @ 130 bpm, and I want to make 4 triplets over one bar (substitute the snare hits on 1,2,3 and 4 with triplets.)
Hmm... I guess that's not really possible right now, is it! You can do triplets over eighth notes, and over quarter notes, but not over anything larger. I can see how it would be desirable, obviously. I think the interface for handling these different rhythms could be revised somehow... Right now the straight time vs. triplets is accommodated simply through the zoom function, but that also tends to lend some confusion visually, when e.g. zooming in and out and trying to remain oriented with the rhythm. I have been intending to add some little icons to indicate the duration of the "currently visible beat", but that will only do so much. Now I'm envisioning something like a "layer", where you could switch between a straight time and a tuplet view of the same bar. Hmmm. Has anybody else thought about this at all, have any ideas? -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
