That's an interesting tip. I'll save Todd's post to try it out later (I guess I won't be able to play it but I can line it up in Mobius - or EDP - by Sub Insert and stepping between the three meters as the quantizing base). I'm curious to hear what it's like. This morning (looong ago....zzzzzZZZZzzz...) I was walking the city with Robert Rich in my Sony Freestyle CD player. He had all kind of odd meters and also odd tunings! First time hearing him, I just bought three albums from CD Baby - nice music.
