Flam timings
Posted: Jul 22nd, '17, 23:00
The Flam function is a must have feature. I thought it could be helpful to get the timings of the TR909 for flam modes 9 to 16.
The timing of the flam is not affected by the tempo.
The waveforms below show the TRIG signal when flam is enabled
- the first pulse is the initial trigger
- a few ms later the TR generates a second trigger ; note that on the waveform you actually see two pulses, which are due to the jitter of the sequencer ; the second pulse of the second trigger is played way more often than the first one
Flam 9: 10 ms delay between the two pulses (6 ms min)

Flam 10: 14 ms delay between the two pulses (10 ms min)

Flam 11: 18 ms delay between the two pulses (14 ms min)

Flam 12: 22 ms delay between the two pulses (18 ms min)

Flam 13: 26 ms delay between the two pulses (22 ms min)

Flam 14: 30 ms delay between the two pulses (26 ms min)

Flam 15: 34 ms delay between the two pulses (30 ms min)

Flam 16: 38 ms delay between the two pulses (34 ms min)
