upon reading this thread, i thought i'd just put this in.

In a delay set to bpm, setting the delay to 1/4 will give you the tempo you have set bpm to,or a crotchet (quarter note in some parts). A beat.

Set delay to 1/4T and it will fire off three times every two of those (1/4) beats(crotchet triplets).

Set it to 1/4P and you get 1&1/2 beats, 3 8ths or quavers, a dotted crotchet.

..And so it goes, halving the beat from there to semiquavers and on.

I know its general and obvious for some, but i thought i'd whack it in anyway.

Rock on regardless :grin:

Are you sure you didn't spend time in the 80's masquerading as "Roma", my brilliant yet vicious piano teacher? She used to take great pleasure in whacking me over the knuckles (a la Mozart) when I stuffed up playing triplets, which was more frequent than I care to mention! All I can say these days is thank Christ for quantize :grin:

Ah, but Retro, my dear man, a well stuffed up triplet can be a beautiful thing :wink:

Hi Guys,

This is a nice starter. But it is static. Try to tweak the delay time parameter in realtime and you'll be amazed what will happen with your original melody line: It becomes something else, starts to have a life off its own and is superb for creating new melodies!
Superb for trance and techno...

In a situation where your delay plug-in isn't clocked to the tempo you can use the calculation:
Delay = 60,000 / Tempo / 1.33
This will give you a base to work from in sync with the BPM ( 4/4 time).
To improve on this, halve or double the value on one of the stereo channels to give more and different "movement".
Adjust feedback and dry/wet mix to suit.

You can then go into your sequence/arpeggios and change a couple of notes to triplets.

It worked well enough for me in the past.

That's nice with analog delays and some VST stuff, but on SFP it will cause some bad crackling. Try it :smile:

Hey Valis, nice little tool, that Freequency applet!
