Elektron Musical Instruments

hmmm...it is kind of shot in the dark.  Drammy, did you say what 
version of Cubase you were using?

i will say that, and pardon me, i do need to investigate futher, that 
when i went in and adjusted the recording offset under "expert" 
settings, that while it did help the small latency, i did now notice 
that the MD was now like you described, sometimes a smidgen before and 
after the beat.  with this setting set to zero, i swear i saw only a 
small amount of after the beats...i figure this maybe noteworthy

i will experiment some more...Drammy, how did you measure your "off 
the beat" count to roughly 200-300 samples?  i'd like to compare or 
better understand how much your recordings are off compared to mine.
