I may be over simplifying your question, and I'm not really a hydrogen
expert but the thing is, if your pattern length is, say, three beats long,
it's not gonna sound any different, say, when the metronome's clicking,
because that's just click click click click - what defines any time
signature in music in general is accenting - so for it to end up sounding
3/4, I'd add some notes in there - perhaps just on the quarter notes, and
make the first one a little louder so instead of
one two three
you've got
ONE two three
ONE two three
