Modulated clock data question

Based on the rhythm-groove story i suggest to check this specially the Interview with Roger Linn about the swing.

Simulating the 808 / 909 / MPC groove

These differences are perceived as “groove” and therefore people assume it’s all about timing even though this is often not the case. It can be very hard to hear if a certain groove comes from variation in timing, or from accents in terms of loudness or timbre. I could be wrong, but I think 90% of what people love about the 808 or 909 is how the sound interacts, how you can add accented steps, and how changing levels often not only changes loudness, but introduces subtle timbre changes as well…
