Since some time I wanted to compose a waltzer, and I also followed @jjfagot advice, but I was unable to do that
So an option to add time-signatures automatically (times, durations and rests included), AFTER having found a series of chords, could be welcome for me
BTW: the option to apply time signature AFTER, not before having found a series of chords, could have the further benefit to create very odd times like e.g. Technwaltzer or a Polk-hop
When you were trying @jjfagot advise did you remember to set Ableton Live for 3/4 time as well? Your DAW needs to have its base set to three other wise it won’t work as well. I can set Scaler and any pads to various time signatures if the DAW reflects that. Just a thought.
I don’t remember, but I think I created something similar
the problem is that I found hard to “cavare il ragno dal buco” (take out the spider from its hole) even following his advice
This is why a series of presets could be useful for a folk like me, with poor musical skills and reluctant to study
If you are using expressions then you must be aware that very few of those are in 3. Most are 4 except for a couple like Mysterioso and the 3/4 phrases. So even change time signature wont change the expression unless they come up with some or add a bunch of 3/4 performances,
Indeed. You should set your DAW’s time to 3/4 (or 6/4). And Scaler on x1.5 Timing Playback and x2 Chord duration.
I am preparing a video that I hope to finish tomorrow on this topic. I cannot allow a melodic imagination like Claudio’s to run out of his Waltz
This video is made as a demo of how to adjust Scaler to ternary tempos, specifically 3/4
I was planning to put Opus Orchestrator performances here as well, but my computer doesn’t allow me to record videos with many instruments; you can see in the video CPU load (top right) how much it uses for 2 scalers and 2 instruments. However, I hope it will help my colleagues at the Scaler Forum, especially Claudio, who will surely write a nice waltz soon.
Yes and don’t forget triplet quantisation helps fit into many simple and compound time signatures. So you can use 4/4 material and apply a 12th note global quantisation for example.
I know, I know: I did a 6 month course about that in the nineties, but I abandoned it preferring African dances
so you are one of those people dancing with ongoing left/right stiff neck?
