Thanks for the fill idea, Carl. It is a departure from how I have been approaching DB, but that was what I needed! The suggestion of having a 'tips and trick' section on the DB website is great. The program is fairly intuitive, but a having a point of reference for more advanced rhythms would be an obvious way to give users an insight into more complex patterns - ie. thinking outside the 'box'.

The main thing to do to start you off is to--oh what is it called?--expand the beat range per measure (this is either Apple-= or Apple-] ). I think I have it show 16 beats per measure. Try tempo 120, 4/4, high hat every two beats: measure 1: bass hit at 1, snare at 6, bass 8, bass 12, snare 14; measure 2: bass 1, snare 6, snare 9, snare 10, bass 12, snare 14. That's just a very simple one and I'm not sure I have the little snare filip on the right beats (don't forget to stop the high hat over the little snare thing--a real drummer could only do it with three hands!). I did one that's a little more complicated, but without looking at the pattern I can't count it off for you.
Hmmm, I pretty much see what you mean, though perhaps you could do a screenshot or two of what you're doing in Doggiebox in OS X, and then (when in OS 9) post it somewhere (or send it to Ben for posting) as a kind of embryonic "Doggiebox tips & tricks" thing.
I don't have separate files for "neat Max Roach fill 1," "Keith Moon freak out 2," "Markie Ramone bashalong 3," etc., and then try to mix them together. Working out the pattern is complicated enough as it is . . .
Although a "Doggiebox sample library" with short little files of individual fill patterns, main rhythm pattens, and whatever, would be pretty cool. A more advanced part of the "Doggiebox tips & tricks" thing :)
Cheers, Carl
