What up Forum,

I just want to preface this by saying that Im not presenting a SINGLE SHRED of scientific evidence here and everything is HIGHLY OPINIONATED....

Now that's out of the way,

I believe the Force/ MPC works better when operating in 'Double Time'

If you're not familiar with 'regular time' it’s essentially when you see something 100BPM and above.

Double time is REALLY anything over 120 BPM (IMHO)

My feeling about it is this.

Though these things are hardware samplers/ sequencers, at their core, they are simply computers. So it’s not always wise to throw a bunch of data at a computer at one time and expect it to perform optimally.

With a higher tempo, this means a higher resolution. It translates to a 'more accurate' reproduction of your performances, however, there's more than likely a bunch of data that’s unnecessary, in theory.
