Кажется, что-то проясняется.

The interval is crucial. The only guarantee is that each player will sync to the start of an interval in respect to the sound they hear. There is no guarantee that what you play will be heard exactly one interval later but it will be an exact integer number of intervals, starting from one. Different people in the channel may have to wait differing amounts of time. (Usual is one, rarely two it's been said, I've not heard of more.)

The interval is crucial. You need to set the interval to the correct length for the song. For example, 12-bar blues is 12x4=48 beats, so the interval needs to be set to 48. Setting it 16, for example, will mean clashing chords at some point. No changing the form on the fly, either...

The interval is crucial. To get any time signature, you simply multiply the number of beats per bar by the appropriate number of beats (i.e. phrase/verse/etc size). For example, if you have a 3/4 tune with a chord cycle that repeats every 16 bars, you have 16x3=48 beats (again - but for a different reason than before, of course). A 5/8 tune with a two-bar cycle would be 2x5=10 beats.

There are minima and maxima to both BPI and BPM but within that, no requirements for anything else. So you can go mad if you like and have 27BPI at 219BPM.

Vocals, harmonies, etc fit in with the above, just like any other participant. As I noted in another post, you're creating something new that encompasses the interval. Trying to "play tunes" isn't really the essence of NINJAM and leaves it sounding a bit stale. You have to get to grips with it then start taking risks - and listen to hear what others are doing, understand where the whole piece is going and both support it and help it grow.

The interval can be completely ignored if you're working on something organic that has no form at all. As a drummer, this can be fun because chords aren't such a problem and you're working more with the rise and fall of emotion of a piece than pure rhythm. You also have no idea at all, other than gut feel, how it's going to turn out, for added excitement!
