Re: Dark Time swing output

2014-05-29 by steve mantz

I think Florian's point was the Dark Time is sending individual NOTES to the Dark Energy and MS20, they are reacting to the notes sent, not the clock. It sends a NON-shuffled clock to the MFB.
If you shuffle the clock (let's say on 1/2 notes) how does the receiver interpret this? It'll interpret it as a tempo change - not as 'shuffle' - it has no way of knowing that it's the same tempo with shuffle. What does it do between the 2 different 'tempos'? Smoothly change tempo from one to another? It can't do this until it's receives the next clock pulse. If the incoming clock move smoothly between the 2 'tempos' it'll swing everything, not just the offbeats. How would you shuffle just the 8th notes but not 16ths - can't be done with a simple clock.

cheers
