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.)
How do I do this? Anyone?
Try using your Apple Key to open or expand the number of divisions for each count. Apple Key hit at the same time as the minus "-" key will reduce the number of divisions of a count by 1 (the default 4/4 bar shows 2 divisions per count, or 8th notes). If you use this key combination it will take the bar down to showing only quarter notes. Original 4/4 Bar | | | | | | | | 1 2 3 4 4/4 Bar after Apple Key Minus | | | | 1 2 3 4 Apple Key hit at the same time as the "=" sign will do the opposet. This is what you will do to expose the triplets (three divisions per count). 4/4 Bar after Apple Key "=" sign | | | | | | | | | | | | 1 2 3 4 These options are available in the "Pattern" menu as 'Expand' and 'Collapse'. Note that this will open ALL bars at once which may disorient you if you have a lot of bars in your song. You can Expand and Collapse the bars adding triplets or whatever -what ever you enter will be 'remembered' even if it cannot be displayed (i.e. a bar of triplets will be entierly displayed if you only have 8th note exposed). Maybe this could be added to the to-do list (maybe it is?) - the ability to select between expanding or collapsing individual bars OR as well as all bars.
