I think it’s better if there is “Triplet button” in Advanced Edit.
Maybe we had better use delay column for inputting Triplet, since we can change TPL freely even after inputting data.
But, the calculation is very puzzling for me.
For example, Triplet in 8line:
256 x 8 / 3 = 682 … 2
so, we should divide 8lines(2048) into “683, 683, 682”, maybe.
so, hmmmmmm…
with 8 lines, you mean lpb of 8? If so, doesn’t this just mean every 3 lines? (Since lpb 8 = speed 3) Lol at tempo discussion getting more and more confusing with every renoise release
I would not use the delay column for such tasks: when you exactly know the delay value to use (i.e.: you are not performing humanization or live recording), Dx in pan column is easier
How would it work if you have many notes?
Also, what kind of triplets? 1/4T, 1/8T, 1/16T? It would require additional options.
Anyway, instead of that I’ll re-post what I already posted in another thread. This picture:
Not necessarily like that, but a quantize function that you could select for either each track separately or globaly for the whole pattern.
It would only serve to for note-input and display. You could switch it anytime and it wouldn’t affect playback (of course).
BTW, that picture was made before the new delay column. It could now include the delay column, or the pan column with Dx…
Actually there wouldn’t need to be empty space between notes, for now. Everything could stay as it is (graphically), the quantize would work for you just like editstep. So basically, we’d have an improved editstep with a more musical timing.
edit: made a new thread for this.
Yes, I know. it’s very simple and Tracker-ish good point.
But all other tracks are affected by the method.
It may be the best method if we can set the LPB to each track individually, but probably it’s very difficult to implement. (I’m not a developer, though)
Recommended if you plan to use triplets more. 24 is even better cuz it allows presice note resolution for both straight and triplet notes without delay commands, which are more handy for f.ex. humanizing timing.
