Subject: Sequencing unusual time signatures

Hi Group,

The "303" style sequencer in the AN1x can seem limited to dance, swing
and waltz times, but did you know that you can make it talk in odd times
like 5/4, 11/8, etc.?

Listen to Ezekiel's Wheel play: "Short Shirt - Long Line"

precisely directed by the AN1x controlling the band in 7/8 time from the
sequencer.

(It's hard to call this a groove, but I can give pointers in programming
the sequencer to delight and annoy in unconventional times.)
