Thanks for correcting the headline, Florian

So what's going on there -- does the voltage vanish or infinitely approach 
some value? Can the coefficents be calculated and apply some kind of an 
amplifier and feedback to keep the data valid?

i am also familiar with roland's early sequencer concept

and the rate

I see -- BBD works as some kind of a high-pass filter to use an analogy?

Not at all!
