Non 4/4 techno

[davethedrummer]

i know a couple of ambient techno tracks a while back that had a 15/16 time signature.

and i think some of venetian snares stuff is 7/4 time.

yeah 7/4 is interesting
some early young gods stuff is in 7/4
I tried it a couple of times
but never really got off the starting blocks if you know what i mean

by the way
3/4 is the same as 6/8 innit really?

3 quater notes to every beat right?

15/16 hmmmm sounds a bit silly

actually thats one of the greatest things about the trusty old 303
it's easy to set up 6 or 7 or 9 beat patterns that will run across a 4/4 beat
they kind of re-synch after so many bars ( you do the math )
surgeon does it loads too , not with 303's but similar ideas with synth patterns
it's that old analogue vs software argument again
old analogue step sequencers are great for this kind of thing
