roland mc-101 triplets

[@ShaiUI]

you can also do this by setting the steps to be triplets: 1. shift-measure to get to the settings 2. change step length to 12 3. change scale to 1/8T (triplets) 4. put hats on all 12 steps (3 triplet, 3 triplet, 3 triplet, 3 triplet) 5. put kick on steps 1, 4, 7, 10. press play and should sound like he has it in video. to verify, you can also create an additional drum track (for example on track 2) with default settings (step length 16, 1/16 notes) and then put a kick on steps 1, 5, 9, 13. and now when you hit play, the kicks on track 2 should match up with the kicks on the triplet track 1. additional note about drum rolls (also can do triplet rolls this way): check out sub-steps aka note repeats. look at the menu for each note (in SEQ mode, shift->step number) you'll see a menu: VEL, STA, MTE, SUB. so you can change SUB to off, 1/2, 1/3, etc using the c4 knob. alternate way to do this is when you're in SEQ mode, to press SEQ button then press step number and you'll see the note change from red to a shade of pink, depending on your SUB value. this determines how many times within each step the note will repeat. so 1/2 will trigger the note twice in each step, 1/3 will trigger the note three times in each step, etc. so for example, each step by default is a 1/16th note.. let's say I change the last 8 steps to be SUB 1/2. so this will make a 1/32 roll.

pretty sweet video - thanks for the tip. You can also use the arp to do triplets.

Thanks for sharing! 💯

Very cool! Makes total sense.

[@florianladewig2837]

Why do you not use 1/8 T ???

[@WAGinWNY]

Very cool!

[@BendApparatus]

Pretty cool... question though... Or maybe you could just explain. When the clip is set to 1/16T in the scale mode...what the heck happens to the pads? Why are there now white and pink pads that don't allow input and the 1/16T pattern extends 2 pages...and note/beat input is limited? It completely brings me to a dead stop since I can't figure out just wth it's supposed to be...

[@ShaiUI]

I'm trying to figure this out myself. but basically when you change the scale to triplets. say 1/8T then it only has 12 steps (3 triplets, 3 triplets, 3 triplets, 3 triplets) and that's why the last 4 steps are in pink -- you can't use them. the reason why there's two pages is because you've set it to more than 12 steps. so after you change the scale to triplet time, make sure you also change the step length to 12 and that way you'll only have one page.

@@ShaiUI thanks, that helps!

[@ShaiUI]

@@BendApparatus np, note that if you have 1/16 triplets then you'll need 24 steps (6 triplets, 6 triplets, 6 triplets, 6 triplets). so then it'll span 2 pages. also check out my comment on triplets that I left on this video. it explains how to go about it in more detail.

@@ShaiUI checked it out... whew... That's quite a bit of info... I put the 101 down for a bit to concentrate on the Model:Samples...it started when I lost around 11 to 12 beats I'd been working on for about 3 months (on the samples) It's my 1st Elektron device and I had no idea how their save file system worked... Ended up accidentally loading a new project and losing all that work because it had never been saved to an actual project it was just floating in the units temporary memory... That really really disheartened me... But I figured that before deciding to get rid of it I would give it another shot... So the 101 kind of took a back seat... Honestly I'm not even sure if I made the correct choice since I had been making quite a bit of headway into the deepness of the 101...🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ShaiUI]

@@BendApparatus I got the elektron digitakt as well. the mc-101 is just my "throw-in-the-bag-portable" device I bring with me whenever I need a quick drum machine. regardless, I don't think you can go wrong with any of these types of machines. they're really deep and fun to learn. also it's good to have mc-101 as a desktop synth.

How do get this info? Man u are a genius sir
