It's not a rude question :)
Anyways, oh god no.  Not live, just my studio.
I don't use software sequencers.  I don't even know how use one single  
app besides Ableton and Kontakt.  I'm a hardware guy.  And when I say  
Ableton, all I am saying is Simpler.

Besides all I am trying to do is nudge the track forwards and  
backwords (in the studio) by a fixed amount with intent.
But in the Schaltwerk you can delay a track by 1/16ths and 1/32nds.
But that machine is gone.  Although I may have a lead on another.
And that's what I am after here.  How to nudge/push a CS track in the  
same way.   I will just mess with it next weekend but the CS's Shift  
section is all I am trying to sort through in my head.
What value with the data wheel will achieve a 1/16, 1/32,  1/64 nudge  
backwards (delay) in Emu's way of working?

In this case it is an exact science, but i'm banging my head against  
the wall.  It does work but what values equal what?
