Re: Midi sync of the A-155 from the A-190

2003-03-12 by Joe Buechler

The A155 as mentioned always resets to step 1 and starts at step 2.

Not sure what's causing the lag, but if you're using a software 
sequencer its possible that a lot of active sensing messages or other 
spurious midi messages are clogging the A190 processor a bit.
