RE: [elektron] Re: timing problems with MD, please help me!

2005-02-16 by DAVID LACKEY

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,

sticky039,

Sorry I didn't reply to you PM about this.

I have pretty much given up on using the MD in slave to Cubase.  The 
timing is so awful and Elektron seem to bugger all to fix it!

The MD is my only piece of kit with this problem.  My set-up is first 
class and certainly not at fault.  The MD still insists on responding 
up to 100 samples early or late.  It is not consistent enough to 
simply use a delay as sometimes it is early, sometimes late!

Apologies for not being any use here, I just thought I'd better reply 
and let you know that I agree this is a problem and Elektron are NOT 
fixing it!!!
