ZoeB Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Yes. Xtal, pulsewidth, and Schottky (not Schottkey) are electronics terms. He was studying electronics at uni. Of course, pulsewidth's also a synthesiser term, synthesisers traditionally being made of electronics before their software counterparts, but Pulsewidth doesn't seem to have any PWM in it, so these are all probably just semi-random electronics terms he named tracks after. The different coloured powders (calxes) seem more intriguing to me... I think he just liked naming tracks in sets, like the biological ones, the powder ones, the electronic ones, the anagrams, and the computer viruses. Maybe they were originally meant to be released on different albums. Who knows?

I believe it's pretty standard shorthand, so probably written on a lot of circuit boards, for synths and millions of other things.

Real Human Bean Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 A lot of synths (even digital ones) have a (quartz) crystal oscillator as the master clock - you use subdivisions of this to do yer noises.
