The concern isn't about the trivial difference in Nyquist frequency, it's about aliasing and dithering when importing/exporting/synchronizing digitally. 1 sample from the EP-133 is 1.0629251700680271 samples at 44.1kHz,

The ADC and DAC operate at 46.875 kHz, its samplerate. That's the entire point of my original comment about it being nonstandard.

OK, you've pasted from the #1 Google result after searching for "46.875 kHz samplerate". What does this have to do with the Teenage Engineering EP-133? It doesn't have USB audio or SPDIF, so no standard samplerate clock

It looks like the interesting feature of their tool Fixit 2 is that its lint rules know how to auto-apply themselves. I'm fine with an auto code formatter, an auto import organizer, but not sure how much I trust a linter to auto-apply

Curious that its got a nonstandard 46.875 kHz samplerate rather than 44.1 or 48.0 kHz. Not that it matters since its only output appears to be on the analog side of the DAC. This is a surprisingly well-featured sampler/sequencer for th

Why is it that FM synthesis was so well-suited to relatively simple early digital hardware (eg. Yamaha's DX/TX line)? Does that also make for relatively simple software FM synthesis?
