what ?

are you serious ?

I use a drum machine to simulate what 'real' drummers do .. ???

I detect some bovine scatology impregnating this discussion ..

I want rock solid timing on my machine - if i want to 'swing' it then  
i use that function.

so now the 'irregular timing ' becomes a feature !

yeah right ...

so we all become 'unskilled' if we cannot use these anomalies to our  
advantage..

I think we have touched a large nerve here..

and i cannot believe the excuses that are being proffered .

It is only when David presented the findings to the group that we  
have learnt

of a ' deliberate ' design to create a groove in the machine - but  
one that has never

come to light before ... mmm..

Correct me if I'm wrong or call me old fashioned but  a precision  
timing mechanism

and rock solid synchronisation ( without excuses ) is what I expect  
from a highly specified

drum machine..
