Re: timing problems with MD, please help me!

2005-02-17 by innerclock2004

Hiya,

 

Had to answer – straight up the problem is your computer/midi – not 
the MD. I have personally tested the MD as a midi clock slave across 
multiple multitrack audio passes over 15 minutes record time to a 
very high precision clock master and believe me – the MD is the most 
reliable hardware sequencer you will find. On average over all passes 
the MD only drifts less than 0.3ms  - and as I said – this is running 
the MD as a slave to a GOOD clock source.

 

Sort the Midi/USB slop out from your computer.

 

All the best.

 

Kind regards, 

David
