The 10/20 Mhz refers to the main Z80 processor that handles program 
switching, parameter control, MIDI I/O. A faster processor means more 
responsive footcontrol response, quicker program switching, etc, but 
does not affect the sound quality in any way.

Ths S-DISC chip(s) on the 2101 both run at 24.576 MHz (512 x sample 
rate) no matter what  the control processor runs at, so the DSP 
processing is the same speed.
