Well, float / float.
No, floats are more efficient to work with and its helpful to have as many
system types be the same as possible.
they are simply not adequate in this context.
In what way? Not expressive enough? I have an
aversion to expressing anything like this as an int, for both
artistic and technical reasons.
for technical reasons, you should prefer int i think. if you get a chance to, do some experiments with
non-integral
organization of musical time. i'm dead certain you'll never
want to go there a second time.
I have, many times in multi/vari rate sequencer modular systems, but not
in linear sequencer type software. There I just set 60bpm and arrange
things manually, with the aid of a calcuator. Ardour supports this quite
well IIRC, it has a meter neutral multi paste function and can snap to
adjacent regions.
I have also made some primitive experiemnts with SAOL and csound to make
multirate music. Its one of the reasons I wanted to learn them.
It also has (I belive) per route audio speed scaling, but I've never tried
that.
