Reminder that in Ableton you can press Ctrl + 3 for triplet grid while viewing a midi clip.

As someone who spent years working on the "Airwolf" main theme (as part of "Airwolf Extended Themes" album) - triplets have a special place in my heart

Can confirm, 3 piece patterns are also a dancing cheatcode.
Pose 1, pose 2, pose 1 (twice), on beat, add bounce and comfort. It works, I promise. Do it for 3 bars, new combo for 3 bars, stop to do an accent move on things like drops and iconic lyrics.

Humans like music patterns, and LOVE slight variations on them.

I also really like what I call "faux triplets" as I can't remember the technical name for them. It's when you do 3+3+3+4+3 in the kick. The four adds a bit lonsidedness as well but I really like the vibe of the four sets of 3.

[RVXbeats]

Idk yall but as a drummer i love triplets

[distrologic]

its basically just a special case of odd time signatures no? its just 3/4?

[coreymumper]

Aye how about taking the volume shaper and enable midi sidechain with information coming from hats set to 1/16t, then proceed to use multi band to taste for ducking on a bass or synth. Using this technique on subs is a winner! 🎉

Triplets are only "underrated" to people who haven't been making music for over like a year
