This is basically a nice idea, but it lacks completely the possibility 
of getting this synced to an external master-clock.

Also a groove requires to move definite clocks to another position and 
leaving all other notes on the same position.
E.g for a classical jack beat, you take a 4/4 beat counted in 1/16th. 
The beat number 4,8,12, and 16 need to be delayed around 10 % of the 
lenght of one 1/16th note. The beat number 2, 6, 10, and 14 should be 
delayed 5% only. Of course you can manage all this with an 
extraordinariuos amount of logical modul settings, but I have to admit, 
that I would prefer something more simple. I don't want to waste modules 
for 800 Euro only for getting a swing clock, which could be realized 
with a simple one chip solution.
