Meter Changes
Posted: Sun Jun 05, 2011 10:54 pm
Hey, I have not actually purchased Beatcraft yet, although I do own Mixcraft. I was planning on learning to play set this summer, but then I realized that there was no way I would be able to learn fast enough to be able to play what I needed for some projects I'm working on, so I decided to find a drum machine instead. I'm just looking around a bit before I decide on which to get. As of right now, from videos I've watched of the interface for Beatcraft and the possible sounds, it looks and sounds good. However, a big question I haven't been able to find an answer to:
A.) Is it possible to create asymmetrical meters in Beatcraft (7/8, 5/4, 11/8, etc.). And kind of connected to that;
B.) Can you change meters? Trying to create a feel of missing a beat in a multi-measure phrase (3 measures of 4/4 followed by a measure of 3/4, so the last measure feels chopped. Maybe would be easier to just have a 15/4 meter? That sounds a little absurd, I realize...) Or really any meter changes, it would be a mild pain to have to start a new project for each section that is in a different meter within a whole song.
I hope that made some semblance of sense. Thanks!
