Songs with a shuffled beat.

I dont know if shuffled is the right word for this though. what i mean is a song where the beat is a gallop beat. and the arrows at the top blink like a gallop. do you know what i mean? i think songs with a beat of " dat.......dat dat..........dat dat.......dat dat" whould provide an original challenge to DDR what do think?

Syncopated, you mean? It's an interesting idea, but the problem is that syncopation stresses putting notes on the offbeat instead of changing the BPM.

It wouldn't work. It'd be too difficult to compose a song with enough BPM changes to make quarter note gallops, let alone make decent steps for it.

I think Insertion kinda does that in the middle where it rapidly changes between 112 and 114 BPM. but like any song with BPM changes, it would only be difficult to people who don't know to expect it. I guess if you wanted an easy way to change change the BPM whenever you want you could double it (or half it) at any time without being out of sync but that wouldn't really serve any purpose except to annoy people.

Im not talking about BPM changes. im talking about syncopated or shuffled of whatever its called. Like if they integrated a new feature into EX2 or Ultramix 3 or something. where the ACTUAL beat of the song is syncopated. no chaotic BPM changes or anything. I dunno, i think it would be a good new challenge to DDR.

If there were a song with a beat like that, the BPM would have to change so much to match the beat, right?

Well. its to hard to describe on here i guess. but there are songs with the beat i am describing. they arent on DDR obviously though. But anyway.

Songs with "shuffled" beats still have 4/4 time. See Heaven is a '57 Metallic Grey and Burning Heat.

I think Pop'n and slowpoke are right. While the songs may not have the "true" syncopated BPM, the steps are spaced just enough to simulated a syncopated beat. I have to point out Heaven is a 57, that is a great example.

Wait, do you all mean "swing?"His57MG swings (eighth notes have a feel of 12ths missing the middle step), which works on the same principle as Burning Heat.

Or are you talking about songs with gallops that start on the beat(R&P) instead of finish on the beat (In the Navy, etc)? It sounds like no two people are talking about the same thing.
