Beat ... not so good

Granted I am not very bright but does it bug anyone else aside from me that all the presets are in 4/4 aside from the metronome?  I want to play something in 3/4, a waltz by any other name would smell so sweet, and am not up to creating my own pattern yet.

YES it bugs me too!!! Sometimes it really p****s me off. Come on, they make this excellent gadget and not one lousy 3/4 pattern...... I have a song that I've been working on for a while that has a change to 6/4 in the middle and .... well .... I found a solution eventually on that one ('tho it's not pretty) but others I still have no drums to.

So it isn't just me being a numpty not being able to find anything.  This makes me feel better but it makes me a little more annoyed at Boss/Roland.  I suppose they do it so we will all run out and buy one of their DR machines or something.

I can't wait to hear it Geir... 

The only thing you can do with the drums to make them more flexible is to play around with the tempo.  I have doubled the tempo for a section before, or you can change the tempo to some other setting that is different, i don't know if you can trick it to feel like 3/4 though.

Not surprisingly I have nothing particularly useful to add, other than sweet waltzing Juliet mash-up!  Cool.

There is always the BR900 Rhythm Editor that's available free. You can write whatever patterns you like there and in what time you like. It takes a little while to get used to it but it works.
