Default is jam must be play with correct on measures?

Hi.

Am I have to play a musical instrument on exact measures?

So then, is NINJAM not able to play with back ground music or jamming with irregular beats? (for example, 'master of puppets' that has repeating beat between 8/8 and 7/8)

Plaese answer me.

Regards

8/8 + 7/8 = 15/8. NINJAM happily supports a BPI of 15 (or probably better 30 or even 60). That works if it's regular - i.e. one bar 8/8, one bar 7/8 over and over. Most music has patterns and NINJAM works for most patterns.

It's best to work with a BPI the encompasses a whole phrase, too. For example, 12-bar blues should have a BPI of 12 4/4 bars = 48; much jazz works on a similar phrase length.

Very little music is actually constructed of four bars of 4/4 that repeat, which is what a BPI of 16 implies. It forces simplicity, which isn't necessary.
