[sdiy] Analysis of the TB-303 CPU timing

[Julian Schmidt]

hmmmm, my first try says it's probably not worth the hassle.
Or can you hear a difference?

CPUs used in random order:
QS, RE-CPU, TB, RE-CPU with extra sloppy timing (double the latency 
double clock polling time (3.6ms)
All normalized to -1dB
