Dotted notes in (sequence) delay effect

Hi,

I need to mimic a patch from a Roland Fantom which has a long tempo-related delay effect. Its quite important that its tempo-set since I need to be able to set it to tempo the drummer gives.

The problem is that the original patch uses a dotted eight-note for the rhythm and it doesn't seem that I'm able to do that on a triton since it only allows 1/8 1/4 etc and triplets. My friend is solid that 'every keyboard should be able to do dotted notes' but I can't seem to find the option (if there is any).

Help?

Insert FX: BPM delay - set the first tap to ~2/3 of your 1/4 note tempo stated in beats per second.

Example: At 120 beats per minute youd have 1/4s at every half second (500ms). In your dotted 8th figure (dah-dit, dah-dit) the initial note is "0" and the 1/4 is divided 2/3-1/3, so you delay the multi-tap hit to make it happen after 2 of the [1/3 of a quarter note] values have elapsed. In this case the triplet happens every ~167ms; 2 of those would be 333ms.

Dah-dit, would have taps happening at 0-333-500-666-1000, etc.

Check sequence delay, too. Interesting BPM sinq'd FX.

If you're building combis, that delay can be built in at the front end by putting a delay on the note on.
