It's about time in general, e.g. "in life-threatening situations, time

seems to slow down" ... e.g. somebody doing a suicide by throwing

himself in front of a train, then it's very probably that he will

discern time much slower, this is to enable humans in other situations

to safe life. For some highly gifted people, Asperger and others similar

happens in normal life very often. I'm such a person, but this anyway

has nothing to do with the machine jitter. I guess I don't need to read

the whole text, because this is one of the things I occupied with a lot.
I guess a lot of people have a completely wrong imagination about who

I'm and what I'm thinking etc..
Again, I never claimed that a pleasant timing with syncopation for me is

a bad timing, I'm referring to recordings of MIDI tracks for the rhythm

section, by recoding one instrument after the other, so that each

instrument will have different jitter, without being coloured by the

emotions a human has got. This is a completely different topic.
E.g. the Haas effect is a rule that is true, but also has nothing to do

with this topic.

Ralf
