Okay, so I have this vision of writing an album about the 'Teton Dam Distaster' since I just moved to eastern Idaho. For the hell of it, I'm going to keep every song in 5/4 timing....
I need a drum machine PC software that's programmable for weird timings. Any suggestions?
I have both Hammerhead and HotStepper, but they're not flexable (as far as I know)
 rock over london, rock on chicago
Why the Hell would you use the color 'beige' for your text? |

Never had much luck finding very flexible drum programming software, but I do have this music notation program called Lime. It's relatively user-friendly and allows not only for odd time signatures, but odd time intervals (triplets, quadruplets, septuplets, etc.). It imports/exports MIDI files, so all you have to do is create sequences and play them through sequencing/sampling software in order to get the right drum sounds.

| I guess you could program it in most major sequencers that does midi (and then use a vsti-sampler as source) - like nuendo-cubase. They cost a lot though. I dig FL Studio, it's relatively cheap, and it's pretty flexible (and user friendly) when it comes to programming beats. It's got it's own samplers and is vst/dx-compatible. |

you could try skale.
it's a tracker but you can use it as a drum machine. (it doesn't provide samples)

I just got myself Fruity Loops 5 and been dinking around on it the last few hours. Pretty neato software.
You can change the drum machine beats-per-measure from 1 to 64.
It's great! |

Hey, that's cool. It's pretty decent for programming other stuff too. Tear it apart. |
