Hi Folks. trying to write a backing track for a 3/4 song( Gravity -John mayer) seems the BB does not work well with a 3 beat song…
Can anybody give any pointers?
Many Thx
The BBM midi editor doesn’t change the number of “ticks” when you change the time signature. I suggest starting with an existing ¾ song or import a ¾ midi track and work from there.
hi Andrew. thx for reply.
so how do I change the time signature then?
could you send a link to some gd songs and midi tracks compatible with bbm? many thx
In the default content library, there are 8 songs in 3/4 time:
- Brushes Beats/Brushes 4- 3/4 Shuffle Waltz
- Brushes Beats/Brushes 5- 3/4 Half time Shuffle Pop
- Jazz/Jazz 9- 3/4 swing, Waltz
- World/Spanish Buleria
- World/Buleria w brushes
- World/Spanish 3/4 beat- brushes
- Metronome/Metronome- 3/4
You could start with any of those.
If you want to create your own song, export the song and import it to another folder and edit from there.

I discovered this trick a long time ago, I hope it helps.
How to create a 3/4 (or any other Time Signature) BB part using the BB MIDI Editor:
-Top menu: Songs > New Song
-Create new pattern (RMB on Main Loop)
-Set desired Time Signature (left box)
-Click on Quantize (left box)
-Add a note on the first column, on any instrument
-Click on Apply (window closes)
-Edit the part (RMB on the part)
-Build your beat
*RMB=Right Mouse Button
That’s all!
Cheers!

Thanks! Now I can make that eighth-note shaker I’ve been wanting to do in 6/8 time.
