Well exactly, the MC-202 sequencer has a capacity of 2729 notes, for exampl= e :-) On Mon, May 6, 2019 at 7:33 AM Dave <xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx> wrote: > > It could be 1068 steps due to the total number of bits stored per step, t= he packing of those bits into some structure, and the storage of that data,= along with some overhead onto some now ancient storage media that also con= tains the microprocessor's code. > > Or more likely it could be due to how much free RAM was left for step dat= a after the "operating system" and sequencer code was written. > > Don't literally assume a 1:1 relationship between the number of steps and= underlying hardware. > > -Dave > > On May 4, 2019 6:44:53 PM PDT, Brian Willoughby <xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx>= wrote: >> >> That=E2=80=99s a good question, Drew. >> >> I asked my computer what the prime factors of 1,068 are, and it came up = with 89, 3, 2, 2.
