Triplets workflow?

Wow, this is an old thread.

For just a quick “pop on over into 6/8 and back” from a 4/4, why not just pop the Quantise Grid to 1/12…?
Tester:

  • Make a Track with 16th Notes.
  • Set up the Quantise Effect with the Grid at 1/12, but don’t Enable
  • Hit [Play]
  • [Enable] the Quantise Effect

Does this not “make” a quick 6/8? Or is it 1/8 Triplets? Or something something maths is hard
I know the original post was re: triplets but perhaps someone with theory can pipe up about how that’s not correct. It ‘feels’ about right, but I do the feelies thing instead of the knowing thing. Sorry.
That sure feels like 6/8 to me. What’s the maths here?

If that’s what it’s supposed to sound like, remember that Quantise Grid is one of the Effect Parameters that can be controlled Globally. It would seem if you use an external controller you can set up a few buttons to modulate the Quantise Grid in realtime - pop over to 6/8, back to 4/4…or even change the Grid to 1/4 and heavily Quantise everything to down beats and pop it back.
