yup.

yes, it's midithing's default, too, but you can change it at runtime. have
you tried 2 Hz yet? doesn't really sound like the music you gave it to
play, but the timing is really rock-solid ;)
personally, i find that every time i increase the rtc resolution beyond
1 kHz, and up to 8 kHz, it gives a 'cleaner' or more relaxed feeling about
the timing, but that may be psychology playing tricks on me.
