How to get 2 bars (2 pages) in 6/4 time signature

[Sam2020]

Hi !

Impossible to find how to get 2 bars (2 pages) in 6/4.

If someone could explain it step by step, would be really grateful.

Thanks a lot !

A search here, for triplet time, suggests these:

Polyrhythm Table for Micro Timings (Triplets, Quintets, etc.)

I didn’t find this on the Forum so I made up a small table that will help to program polyrhythms with micro Timings. The Problem: You wanna play breaks with triplets or septets with your hihat or snare, but you dont wanna leave your 1/16 grid? You can do this with retriggers or setting up da different scale for the track. But this isnt as flexible as doing it with Micro Timings. With uTiming you can play Triplets, Quartets and Quintet all together in the same pattern on the same track! [image] …

Track Length, Time Signature, Triplets

Thanks. (And thanks @void). I will give this a try. Good to know about the trig copy/paste especially as this sounds like it could be tedious otherwise! Also, I assume if I record in live mode, that the sequencer would automatically add these micro-timing adjustments as necessary? @JuanSOLO You can definitely record retrigs in grid mode, not sure about live mode as I haven’t tried that. Mostly, I’ve been using retrigs when I want triplets. The main problem I have with it is that you’r…

It’s a bit awkward because, obviously, the focus is on 4/4… but, you need to set the pattern length to 48/48, this will give you 2 bars in 6/4… it just means each bar needs 1 1/2 pages, so step 25 (or step 9 on page 2) will be the 1st beat of bar 2 (if that makes sense).

If you use the metronome, remember to set to 6/4 as well. It’s independent of the Scale settings.

Hi, I would not use microtiming, but set scale to 48/48 and the metronome 6/4, or scale to 24/32 and the metronome to 6/8. When I program triplet based beats on the Elektron sequencer, I normally use a table with the correspondence of steps in my beat with the 16-step grid of the sequencer pages.

Thanks. I think it’s working in 24/32. Sometimes the 2nd page disappears and I don’t know why so I just re-do the thing but that’s ok.

The metronome isn’t working. I activated it and changed to 6/8 as suggested but I can’t hear a thing though. The volume is maximum.

Any idea ?

Did you check the “active” box on top of the screen?

Edit: Sorry, you said you activated it. Also, the metronome is sent through the main outs. You cannot hear it when you use direct outs only.
