I doubt this, but hear me out for the reason:

I worked on a Elektron MachineDrum firmware fix that corrected the MIDI jittering due to incorrect ISR configuration. MD itself is pretty tight already with its RTOS but the fix brought it down to microseconds. I was pretty proud of it because it solves a few phasing problems.

I then turned this over to a friend running a lot of Elektron boxes, and his reaction was, "you mean the sound we've got is wrong? how strange!"

So while I feel the same urge to have ultra tight MIDI timing, I doubt this would be a general interest of the non-technical musicians out there.

I read and giggle to the end with great interest, and now I'm told it's just a joke.

Nyawww!

Note, this is not all about EQ. A lot of other techniques are also used, e.g. limiter, exciter (to shift the energy from mid to low), and some psychological tricks to make you believe it's making a fat bass sound, etc.

Anyone remember the Morph concept?

Blew me away back then, but forgot the name. This archive helped to recover the bits in my head. Thank you!

nono, was it slab or slash [over a 8k bandwidth phone call]?

To be fair though, it's not like the other places have a suitable ``meta track'' to discuss such issues...

Neuralink?

Yep Talisman! I received a shareware copy of it on a magazine CD. Totally blown away by the true color UI and pre-arranged widget bits here and there. The thing's born in the 9X era but rocks a definite XP vibe.

which will bring you a loop of a "save before quit?" dialog and then killing it :D

Early 00s Chinese "computer cities"? Noooo. You don't do that to merchants. Merchants do that to you.

It's that off-by-one nature of intervals that always bumps me. The difference between note a and b is (a-b+1). Calling an octave "an octave" feels to me like calling a numeric system with digits 0x0-0xf as "base 17"
