12/8 time in Buzz	Date: 2002-09-12	Author: IntrospectiveJourneys	Viewed 3543 times
12/8 time is a fairly common time signature that has the properties of both 4/4 and 6/8. You count it off 123123123123 (or if you are counting off an intro, 1234 every three 1/8th notes), where each count is on a triplet. It can sound just like 4/4 with a shuffle (not always the case). Popular songs written in 12/8: "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" (in fantasia), "Conga Fury" - Juno Reactor, and the childrens song "The Teddybears picnic". To do this in Buzz set the TPB to 24, the step to 48, and the pattern length to multiples of 24 (I used 196). Then every 24 ticks is a quarter note (actually an 1/8th note in 12/8, but who cares -- it's the note that gets the beat). Listen to the beginnings of a song I created.

Where do you get the stereo version of the geonik saturator effect 2002-09-12 by madlilpimp

Its the mono to stereo patcher found in the Buzz utilities section of this site. If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me that... I'd have a lot of nickels! er, ok that wasn't funny... 2002-09-12 by IntrospectiveJourneys

Hard for me to keep track of 196 ticks in one machine view... esp. with a changing melody. Good to get out of the 126 4/4 :) ES. 2002-09-12 by ExistentialSurealist
