	Yeah, besides the obvious like the pitch input, but even just using it as a pitch delay is quite fun. I think you can hear all that stuff on Lego Feet to be honest, ‘cause we've pretty much done it all by then anyway. But that original Accelera track, which was originally it was called ~~Ripping~~ Circuits, that was Rob's track from ‘89, that was like the first time that we'd done that pitch thing, and it was really cool because like on the 202, if he was using the 202 as to generate the square wave for the pitch input, and then you had your sample in there, and then you started adding resonance to it, it just start losing it slightly and getting really good. So yeah, that was the favourite. And then like discovering that if you use the sample itself as the source of pitch, right, so you get that feedback loop going and just in general, just fucking around with the square wave in different ways the pitch input square wave, fucking around with that in different ways to try and get it to do different things, and retriggering it as well like at the same time is, that like using the trigger input from the 606. But you know, these are all quite obvious things, I think if you've got one because you've probably tried all these. So I don't know beyond that. Yeah, that was our only sampler for quite a long time, like that Destroyer of Worlds track was done just using that as a sampler, done on the four track. That's why it took so long. It's like all the sounds were like sampled on that, and then just triggered on that. I remember reading once that the first Stereo MC’s album, that 33 45 78 or whatever it's called, that was done with the RSD-10 as its main sampler, and being totally amazed like how the fuck? That must’ve took forever. It's quite a well-produced album though.		Yeah, besides the obvious like the pitch input, but even just using it as a pitch delay is quite fun.

'''“Older AE tracks had more timbral and tonal variety because they came from various sources and different hardware. The latest Max/MSP material, while prolific, feels cut from the same fabric.

	God that's such a big question. Yeah, I mean it'd be interesting to know which tracks you think aren't made in Max/MSP that we've released recently. Can you tell me which ones you think they are or is it just that our kind of ability to nail what we're into aesthetically has improved? Because I think like, it's easy back in the day to hear a track that was made on an [Yamaha] RY30 because there's only so much you can do with it. But you can do more with it than you can do with the [Roland] R8, you know? So I think it's actually the confinements of the hardware that lead to the tracks having more variation and that variation isn't necessarily what I would have done if I had more control. That would have been more homogenetic, if you like. So yeah, that's how I'd respond to that. I hope you understand my answer there, because I do mean it.		God that's such a big question.

	Yeah, that was a weird one! [laughs] I really wanted that to be better than it was, but. Weird, they have a sound limit ‘cause they're scared of you vibrating it too much. Because I think they're worried that the rocks are gonna fall apart. But never mind all the local traffic and the fact that they put the sub right next to the rocks that they were worried about? So they could have put the sub near the audience. Not so much technical issues, it was the venue just had this weird sound limit. So we had to have it really quiet and we had to have the sub mixed really low because it was tripping their meter, which was set weighted towards bass, which obviously they're just worried about vibration, so. But I think it's a lot of bureaucracy really. I think more it's to do with sound leakage and local residents and stuff like that, but they don't say that. They say it's because it's this ancient structure. So they just kind of use that to get you to play ball I think. It's my take anyway, I don't know.		Yeah, that was a weird one!
