This app is amazing, but the one thing that really bothers me is the lack of triplets. I make a lot of rock beats and then record real guitar and mix it all together on the computer, and I use triplet bass drum beats all the time. I need triplet support.

| x x x x | x x x x | x x x x | x x x x | <--- BEAT POSITIONS: beats in a measure (16th notes)

You now have 12 notes in the measure. Then we need to set the groove to put these in triplet timing: The vertical axis is split into 10 sections (though the groove doesn't snap to these intervals). You want your groove pattern to look roughly like this:
| = = = = | = = = = | = = = = | = = = = |
| = = = = | = = = = | = = = = | = = = = |
| = x = = | = x = = | = x = = | = x = = |
| = x = = | = x = = | = x = = | = x = = | <--- 2nd 16th note is late
| = x = = | = x = = | = x = = | = x = = |
| = = = x | = = = x | = = = x | = = = x |
| = = = x | = = = x | = = = x | = = = x | <--- 4th 16th note is early
| = = = x | = = = x | = = = x | = = = x |
| = = = = | = = = = | = = = = | = = = = |
| = = = = | = = = = | = = = = | = = = = |
You can play around with the exact groove settings until you get the feel you want.
