Means: A project will most likely be made in 4/4. But for some percussion sounds I'd like to play them 3 or 5 times a bar - which means, that this sound has to play every 1/3 (or every 1/5) bar. If I re-define a midi item's time signature to be 5/5, it becomes 5/4 (measured with project's time signature and time base) bars long...:mad:. Is there any possibility to divide one bar (the time of 4/4 in project's time base) in 3 or 5 parts?
Or to ask this question in another way: Can I create a grid in REAPER's MIDI editor divided in 3, 5,. parts independent of the project time signature?
385
I found a way, but it's not really satisfying... I can define another per-MIDI-item BPM, which is for example 160 instead of 128. Now I get a grid with the needed wide for 5/4 (simply 160/128 = 5/4). Then I hack in the notes - and voilá - they are played on a 1/5 notes base. But... if I use a BPM which can't be divided without a rest... it seems a bit mor complicating. Well, for 1/3 notes events I'd create 3/3 of 128, means 96 BPM MIDI items.
But... are there more 'elegant' solutions for this task...?
