That part I got. I'm talking about making complex "grooves" where every 16th
note falls in it's own adjustable place. Some notes before the quantized
value, some after. just like the ol' voltage controlled clock to sequencer,
but referencing to the clock, insted of being independent. Maybe extract
a pulse that's before the beat, from the clock and then trim for a center
detent at the rigid 16th note timing.<br>

You could still use a 555, just insert a comparator on the capacitor
ramp and trigger a second pulse with the voltage comparator. OR the pulses
together, so the 555 does the 1 and 3 and the comparator does the 2 and 4.
Now adjusting the comparator level moves the variable 2 and 4 relative to
the fixed 1 and 3.<br>

<blockquote>swing is a delay of the 2nd and 4th 16th note in each beat.
On a TR-909 you have several settings for ammounts of delay, I'm assuming
based on skipping to a later pulse from the master clock. One could also
make a swing circuit that has a continuous knob for amount. A trigger delay
on every other pulse. 4013 to select which pulse train, the normal or delayed.
OR.... set up a different delay on each beat with a sequencer, "groove quantize",
but how do you make the early notes? hmmmm. I have thought about this a bit,
I don't know. <br>
<br>
Maybe a "sequencer" with switches for each step to select from several pulses
of the master clock both before and after the quantized beat. Then you can
have notes falling before AND after the beat.<br>

I also want to add a "swing" function to the clock circuit. Can anybody<br>
clarify how swing is defined? For a 1-2-3-4 pattern is it advancing or<br>
retarding the 2 and 4, or just the 2 and in which direction?<br>
<br>
Thanks for the help!<br>
