How to correctly make a triplet?

If I have a beat that's based on eight notes, how do I put in an eight note triplet?

Let's use the hihat as an example:

Place a hihat note on beat 1 and the next 2 boxes. Now click "SHUFFLE" for the last two notes.

You now have a 8th triplet.

I needed this information badly.

Thanks Ralph.

Wow, I posted way back when I first joined the forum asking how to do triplets in Jamstix. I've been playing with the +/-[i:349c976f7e]x[/i:349c976f7e]th control and timing slider to get triplets, and then having to edit in piano roll to get it just right. This is much simpler.

Is there any way to do triplet 16th's? I have a grove that I'm trying to import with grace note triplet 16th's coming on right before a beat, but I can't get it to sit right. I've tried the double and Bounce options, but they don't seem to work like I want them to, because the extra hits die so quickl they are inaudible.

Place three notes as follows:

- first note is just a normal note to start the triplet
- second note is on alternate limb on the same tick as the first but set timing mode to +1/24th (right-click bar editor menu)
- third note is back on the original limb on the next tick (16th) and must have the timing mode set to +1/48th
