The most common type of grace note looks like an eighth note with a slash. It is kind of confusing because you are multiplying everything by two but once you figure it out it all makes sense. (Note: Not all shortcuts are in the dialog, such as C for entering the note. One with the tempo at 150 (or whatever it actually is) with the delay subdivision set for quarter notes (so it delays on every eighth note) and the another with the subdivision set on half notes (so it delays every two eighth notes, or quarter note. I usually set up two delay patches on my dd500. Most 6/8 worship songs are around 150bpm (eighth note value). The actual frequency has depended on historical pitch standards, and for transposing instruments a. eighth note = 150 bpm), sometime they give you the dotted quarter value and I have even seen it notated as the quarter note value, which is odd.īest approach in my opinion is to set your delay to a quarter note and tap in the feel you are going for against the rhythm of the song. C (musical note) C or Do is the first note and semitone of the C major scale, the third note of the A minor scale (the relative minor of C major), and the fourth note (G, A, B, C) of the Guidonian hand, commonly pitched around 261.63 Hz.

I did read some other threads on this but I wasn't really sure if they were talking about tapping the actual dotted eighth note or tapping the quarter note into a pedal that subdivides it.Ĭorrect. what notes should I be tapping in as the quarter notes? My gut tells me tap on 1 and 4 but I didn't know if it was any different for 6/8.įeel free to add any theory explanations but also simply just let me know if I'm counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 which notes I should tap as quarter notes so my pedal will divide with the dotted eight notes. My delay is a TC Electronic Flashback (so I know, I'm not tapping with my foot, i'm using the audio tapping) so it will divide in to dotted eight notes for me. I tend to use a lot of dotted eighth delays for some of the lead lines but I can't really figure out what I should be tapping on a 6/8 time.
