Note to self. Fuck 0xy. Downward arps are the way to go
This made me laugh for a while.
By the way, I think it sounds better 60Hz but that's just me.

That was me posting that it sounds better in 60Hz, haha. But I suppose that is a valid reason. My personal reason being that I don't use 0xy often anyway. I'll keep this in mind when I try using different engine rates.

The thing about 60 Hz (or 60.09 Hz if you want to be pedantic) is that it gives you more flexibility: you get to stuff 20% more events inside the same window of time - in other words, you're given 60 opportunities to update the audio engine per second as opposed to just 50. However, the fact the 2A07's APU updates 50 times a second results in richer maximum-speed arps. It's what one might call a positive side-effect to a (arguably) negative limitation.
I too prefer to work using the NTSC refresh rate for this reason (and also because my TNS-HFC3 cannot play NSFs at any other refresh rate :p), but I can definitely appreciate crafty 50 Hz arps.
