3.11. Pulse Triple Selector

This interface component allows the user to select the three values necessary to configure a pulse triple. A pulse triple consists of a divisor (division of the BPM-specified tempo), a multiplier (scalar of the divided pulse), and an accent. Accent values are notated as dynamic markings (loudness measures): the range (pp, p, mp, mf, f, ff), from soft to loud, is provided. An off symbol (o) designates a rest (measured silence). An on symbol (+) designates a maximum value. For example, a pulse triple configured as (4,1,mf) specifies a medium dynamic pulse that lasts one quarter of the BPM-specified pulse (a sixteenth note). A pulse triple configured as (2,3,pp) specifies a quiet dynamic pulse that lasts one and a half of the BPM-specified pulse (a dotted quarter note). A pulse triple configured as (3,1,o) specifies a silent (rest) dynamic pulse that lasts one third the BPM-specified pulse (a triplet).
