			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>2 it&#039;s 6/8</p><p>so yeah, just put a H00 command on row C of every phrase. remember that the downbeats are on rows 0,3,6 and 9 instead of 0,4,8 and C.</p><p>also, if you see people talking about grooves in LSDJ like 6/6 or 3/3 or 4/4 remember that these aren&#039;t actually time signatures, but relate to how many &quot;ticks&quot; are in each step in a phrase or table. the default groove is 6/6, and the master tempo will ALWAYS relate to a 6/6 groove; so 128bpm in a 5/5 groove is roughly 149BPM, at a 8/8 groove it&#039;d be ~85BPM and at a dumb groove like D/3/5/3 it&#039;d be god knows what. i hope this is helpful and not confusing!!!</p>]]></content>
