i was bringing the subject up generally as info for people using 909s as their clock source, it wasnt just about what i'm doing. it was just an observation.


Ahh ok, fair enough.

I was going to suggest syncing the 909 to something that can generate a more accurate clock (e.g.http://www.rv0.be/sudc.html) but surely in that case you'll be out of tune to anything using 440 tuning regardless of tempo inaccuracies .

Re: 909 and other machine tempos and tuning

My math is off, I got it the same for both tempos.

The idea is sound though so as long as you stick to a few tempos, it's easy enough to work out what to tune to.

Re: Pads, Textures, & Ambience

There's a nice tutorial for creating textures with alchemy here. You can apply the ideas in it to any wavetable/granular type synth. I've also got some interesting sounds from samplers that let you modulate sample start or postiton (modwheel to sample start position in my A4000), or by pitching samp...
