Instruments • a request for drum sequencers related to complex beats (6/8, 9/8, 12/8....)

Hi, I 'd have a major request from drum sequencers in where binary subdivisions are almost exclusive
Working with African musicians, sometimes making soundtakes for traditionnal band, I noticed that , especially into their traditional musics, the complex beats are dominating in the contrary of western world musics
Also the "swing" and "shuffle" functions are based on "binary beats that tend to a complex interpretation"
But what seems to lack in the conception of step-sequencers would be this typical groove of African traditionnal music in where in where we never find "complex beats that tend to a binary interpretation" ...there's even no defined concept for
let me show you an example

1st a complex beat purged of this complex groove (done with flex functions into Logic done as properly as possible)

then the same groove as played by the band (from Burkina Faso)

The idea would be the creation of this function that make a complex beat tending to a binary interpretation, this is the feeling purely African coming from their traditionnal music
