No, you wouldn't be able to pull the clock anywhere near far enough for pitch changes, using this technique. The BrotherSync is for making finite and precise adjustments in the system and sampling clocks between different units to make them exactly in phase at the exact same frequency. Matthias' suggestion is a way to abuse that in order to intentionally introduce small, controlled differences in the clocks. That way two loops could drift from each other over time, which can sometimes be very cool. kim At 10:03 AM 9/26/97 -0700, you wrote: >Using this technique would it be possible to have much wider changes in >the >clock frequency?
