6 steps per bar microtiming?

HI!

Having a hard time finding the 6/4 Garage Groove on the Digitakt. You can’t make the sequencer do 24/16 trigs (6 steps per bar) but I am pretty sure you can emulate that with microtiming. Can’t figure out what timing to use when I want:

  • CHat: _ _ x _ _ x
  • OHat: _ _ _ x _ _

Any help would be appreciated, I am sure I am close.

You can change the TRK scale length to 3/2 on the advanced fill/scale page then if you set the length of that track to 24 steps relative to the kick at 16 steps on the other track or whatever.

Not sure if I understood you well.

If you want triplets you can do this. Microtiming on parenthesis.

Add steps on 1, 2 (+1/48), 3 (+1/24), 5, 6 (+1/48) and 7 (+1/24) and replicate this for steps 9, 10, 11, 13, 14 and 15.

If you want the 6/4 rhythm just skip the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 10th 13th and 15th steps.

I’ll try both! Thanks.

Maybe this helps?

Yeah I saw that one and a variant on Reddit. I’ll try but it did not make sense yet. I’m looking for the 1/6th rythm. But does that mean you keep the 16 track length? So many options with microtiming and pagelength

Yes, afaik the grid stays with 16 steps with that table.

This looks like the best kind of approach … keeps the pages making sense as bars. Lots of work to set up though.

In contrast, 24 steps spread over 2 pages (16+8) with one of the triplets spread over two pages would drive me nuts.
