Hi there! well basically I’m passing an array to the phrase.sequence like this [440,550,400,330] and It plays this four quater notes, I was wondering if i pass [[440,300,350],400,330]it would do a triplet and the two quater notes but nope. Is there a way to do that?  
thanx for your reply!

Hi Alfonso, your algorithm should recognize when, instead a single array value, in the array index are an array of 3 values. In this case you have to divide the time playing by three…
