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* !
