@evil g - yeah man, all your multiplying out is full cycles, so however many doesnt matter, in this case all we are doing is fitting qtr bar tempo to a specific time length.


Those are the same figures i get give or take 0.025

i did a big chart with all sorts of tempos on but i lost the damn thing...

C'est la vie.
Hope it helps peepz, or at least stimulates some thought on the matter.

As an antidote to this i have a friend who i learned some of it off. He's a ****ing genius and i cant pretend to understand half of what he goes on about.

One other thing he does, which is possible, and fun is phase shaping. Painting pictures on a phase display on an oscilloscope[and two detuned and panned oscillators] . its easy(ish) and fun. doesnt really require specialist knowledge, just a scope wiht a phase display. he paints pictures in sounds of leaves, spinning corrolis's pulstaing circlues etc etc...

The flip side? he did a degree in music production. and after 10 years i ahve never never never never heard him finish a tune.

Stuff he has done is sonically perfect, but dull and useless.

James brown has no ****ing knowledge of anything other than dope and wife beating. (excepting the wife beating) he is THE ****ING FUNKIEST MAN I EVER SAW. no question.


Let your funk be your guide. music only matters if it moves ya hips!!!!!
