Hi, I don't think «extratone» is the point, as its purpose is to turn a tempo into audible frequencies. Basically, a standard 120 BPM won't produce a tone in itself, as it means a 0.5 Hz frequency per bar, whilst 10000 BPM will produce 42 Hz per bar. Conversely, the hardware MIDI overload is a classic «IDM» tactic, as there are only so much informations your MIDI cable will handle. Back it the days when i had very limited gear, it happened to me quite often to clog up my poor synth or sampler. I didn't experience it purposely though, so i never found it worthwhile really, although it was certainly amusing and reminiscent of the good old computer demo days, when coders would push back the amount of scrollings/bobs/rasters/etc. the computer could display ! But in practice, my MIDI overload experiences would just sound like sporadic tempo/time division changes or chopped up steps. A few times, my sampler crashed also, and when it did, it would freeze the samples cycles it was playing, like *bzzzzzz* ! On Sun, Apr 5, 2020 at 7:46 PM Jake Levine <jake@drunkonvinyl.com> wrote:
