HEy I uesd to use trackers to sequence my tracks, but I've downloaded FruityLoops Demo (could anyone send me a crack please) and I think this is a really kick-ass program! The possiblities are great and it's less boring to work with than a trackerprogram. I want to know some things: How can I create patterns of 32 or 64 steps instead of 16-step patterns? Is it possible to create snarerolls? Thanks a lot, MaC |

at the top there a few drop down menus here you are able to choose a 32 and 64 length pattern why are patterns of 65 and 37 not available ? choose a snare drum and put a few together and increas the feed back / delay and volume at the same time |

Hello Od what exactly is a time signature ? Does it mean that beats can be placed in random places if you want ? thanks teeth |

Time signature = Definition of how many beats there are in a bar. eg. a time signature of 4/4 (usual for most music) is 4 beats per bar. 6/8 is six beats. The typical time signatures used are 4/4 and 6/8, although there are some interesting effects if you use something like 7/8 or 9/16. The first number (eg. 6/8) is how many beats are in a bar, and the second number (6/8) is the time value of the bar, kind of hard to explain... |

so can a bar be of any length ? why are most set at 4 on drum machines etc ? is it possible to have fractions of a bar ? all these numbers are confusing me thanks for the information rf |

You can have fractions of a bar eg. a 31-step bar as opposed to 32, which will give a quite weird and "mindfuck" effect. 4/4 beats/melodies are the "normal" way of making songs because people can find it easier to find the beat if it's not shifting all over the place... Although, a song can be in 4/4 timing, but have an unconventional drum beat, it doesn't have to be bassdrums on each beat, etc.. An example of a 7/8 beat is Autechre's "777". If you listen carefully, there are only 7 beats in the bar, instead of 8. |

If you have the beats running at 4/4, but the melody running at 7/8 then the melody seems to circle round and round, eventually ending up where it started. If you see what I mean. |

I've tried that before, it's quite weird.. I'm also making a song that changes signature every bar, that would be quite mindfucking... |

I like the concept of mind fuck, does this mean minds going funny. I went to the glastonbury festival last years and the hot dog vans looked like ships in a field. I was chatting to a girl that transformed into a boy as i was speaking to him / her. I do not get in these states all the time, just sepcial occasions. I think it is good to go like this every now and again, just to test what is real. I may experiment with these non standard beat set ups |
