Harmonic convergence

No, not talking about the end of the world or physics.

I'm talking about when you are cruising and the hum of the engine (in my case a 606) coincides with the tone of some music you have on.

This happens surprisingly often on my car, usually between 2500 and 3000 RPM, which is right in the cruising speed range depending on what highway I'm on. Love it when that happens!

Rgds,

Cars can be played like musical instruments.

The OM606 is not just a musical engine... it's an entire orchestra of lovely noise.
