Fear me. I just used Algebra while figuring out a Fleetwood Mac song.

We've been requested to play Fleetwood Mac's "Everywhere" as the first dance at a wedding this weekend. The beginning has that super-fast bell sound and a few other keyboard bits. Rather than try to sample it or sequence it, I figured I'd use the arpeggiator for the bell parts. Only problem...the bell part is in a triple feel, while everything else is in duple feel. So, I had to determine the correct tempo in which 4 sounds fit into the beat, then use Algebra to determine the tempo for the arpeggiator so that 6 sounds fit into the beat.

All hail, King of the Dorks!

(For those who want to know, the original tempo is approx. 114 BPM. I had to set the arpeggiator to 171 BPM.)
