listen to any lock groove track and you'll notice, if the pitch is at 0, that the bpm of the lock groove is always 133.33333333 that's because a lock groove is one revolution (around the record once in a groove whose start meets its end). something to do with 33 revolutions per minute. i'm no math wiz; in school i got 99/100 for final mark in the arts, but only 52/100 in the sciences, so i'm totally useless when it comes to explaining maths and technical stuff. you can BS in the arts, but you can't get away with it with #s. andrew duke
