IIRC, while the Cubase sequencer for the Atari supported polyrhythm, it is dropped for the Windows sequencer. OTOH nowadays sequencers at least provide weak audio track support, so to have some sound effects at fixed times, it would be possible to record them as audio tracks and then to change the MIDI tempo. To edit real polyrhythm, when ever you want, the audio track workaround isn't good, but how often do we compose polyrhythm music? Who is able to name offhand a few known polyrythmic compositions? Assumed somebody is able to name some compositions, how many of those compositions are computer music, that was really composed with several parallel BPMs and not just experimental compositions more or less without countable beats? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheik_Yerbouti#Writing_and_recording There are other known popular and even classic compositions and some folk music is based on it, but it's music played by humans and not by computers. However, this even could be done with Qtractor, by simply ignoring the sequencer's meter and recording with a high resolution, IOW by using the sequence in the same way as an anlog tape recorder, without quantisation, without a metronome given by the computer. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
