Grid in ticks or tuplet divisions

[joikuo]

I'm doing polyrhytmic music, so I use lot of tuplets: triplets, quintuplets, sextuplets, septuplets, etc.

I would like set grid value to different tuplet value or just in ticks. I haven't found way to do that.

Is pro tools grid values limited to only regular note values: quarternotes, eightnotes, 16th notes and triplets, etc. ? Or have I missed something?

I know that quantization is possible with tuplet values, how about grid settings? I would just want draw and edit midi within self chosen grid.

Please somebody help to answer to this question.

thanks,

Mikko

In the Transport window (Window > Transport) double click the meter button (where it shows 4/4). This brings up the Meter Change window. Click on the note icon for a selection of different types of meter.

IDK, but sounds interesting. Post a link to your music?

Thanks for your replies. No problems of changing Time Signature, but If I want to build a piece where is for example quintuplet pulse over triplet pulse, then I would need to select different grid values for to draw midi. So I wasn't actually talking about changing meter. I'll post some day link to this music (-:

Don't know if you can have different grid assignments on different tracks at the same time - but you could just change the grid assignments to the appropriate value as you get to each track - it's not pretty but it will work.

At the top of your edit window click the grid drop down arrow and check 3triplet for whatever subdivision you want. 1/8, 1/16. etc.

PT doesn't do arbitrary tuplets, but I'm pretty sure Reaper does. It's a lot more convenient to do MIDI in, anyway. And you can Rewire multiple outputs from Reaper into PT for mixing. Your soft synths will be more stable, too.
