Time Signatures?
Hi,
Any chance of other time signatures in the future?
Would love to be able to do songs in weird time signatures like 7/4.
Thanks!
Peter

You can do that already. Just set beats in pattern to 7. Unfortunately the metronome will not reflect that but you can always create a click track yourself.
Oh right I didn't realize that...great!
Thanks for the tip!
So to the obvious follow-up question then....can we get different time sigs in the metronome then?
I know this is possible in AUM but would be super useful for when using stand-alone.
Thanks!
I was wrong in regards to the metronome, it does work ! Do you actually own Drambo or just researching what’s possible?
(Both fine btw)
Old thread, just trying this, but "Beats in Pattern" only shows :2 x2, there is no way to choose a different sig like the 7 as above (standalone)
Has this been removed?
Same menu is there, in the scene pattern menu, plus there’s another menu down at the bottom of your screen. (Note that :2 x2 is “divide by, and multiply by”
You mean the metronome works, how? I set a 7 step pattern, the metronome still plays 4/4 or am I missing something?
If one needs a metronome in 7/4 I think it’s better to build a custom click track, anyway, because likely you’ll want to make it 3+4 or 4+3 and that really depends on usage case, it wouldn’t be something I would expect the regular metronome to accommodate
As far as I can tell in the current version of Drambo:
True! It's because the pattern meter overrides the clip meters in scene launcher, no matter if loop is on or off.
As for the built-in metronome, I've built my own to design the click pattern I like the most, on a separate track.
Right now, scenes can only have multiples of 12, 16 and 20 steps, with scene speed adapting to make the number of steps fit into a 4/4 bpm meter. Pattern length can be up to 16 bars though.
I think that adding a "Last step" parameter in scene menu would help users compose in the meters they want.
Sorry, not sure how I’ve missed your reply. The metronome seems to be the techno guy who doesn’t care much about other possibilities than 4/4. I personally don’t find is annoying because I use D within Loopy Pro but inability to set signatures per pattern as well as auto grow not working well in those scenarios I feel like I’m wearing a straitjacket.
