Awesome, I loved this! I have been using it for my guitar practice.

I'm trying to create the drum track for the starting part of Blue rondo a la turk by Dave Brubeck. Not sure how I can tell you but one quick listen will suffice: https://youtu.be/vKNZqM0d-xo. Can anyone figure out how to program that?

Unfortunately that song is in 9/8 and this drum computer appears to be fixed only in 4/4, you'd need an extra two steps to properly do it in this format really. Or at the very least a way to limit the steps to nine.

It seems this drum machine only can do 4-beat loops (with beats subdivided into 4). Sounds like the Brubeck is in 9/8, subdivided 2-2-2-3, 2-2-2-3, 2-2-2-3, 3-3-3.
