I meant to add that of course once you have sample-accurate timing, the next job is to mess things up again with some model of expression in performance (unless you're making german techno). For example I intend to apply some of these rules within Haskore as part of my project: http://www.speech.kth.se/music/performance/performance_rules.html The alternative to this is to stick with a flawed system and decide that it's expressive :) Relatedly, one thing I dislike about supercollider (or at least the way I'm using it right now) is that its failure mode is to crash rather than produce inaccurate output. To me part of the enjoyment of an instrument is what happens when you go beyond its normal limits. alex
