My brain was just like &quot;oh triplets&quot; but that wasn&#039;t it at all. I appreciate the tips and advice though!</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>Victory Road says:</i></b><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>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>Hulex says:</i></b><p>I&#039;m trying to remake this song in an attempt to learn more about LSDJ and melody progression and basslines and such.<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgMHWxN2U_w" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgMHWxN2U_w</a></p><p>Now you can see this has a unique rhythm to it made up of triplets I think? I&#039;m having some issues setting up this base rhythm essentially and could use some help.</p>]]></description>
