Elektron Musical Instruments

Hey man, I'm not in anyway trying to ruffle anyone's feathers or keep
people from discussing the issue.  It just seems like some people are
interpretting the issue as being a serious bug, and I'm trying to keep
people maybe a little less experienced from mis-interpreting the
seriousness of what you guys are talking about.

I'm not saying it's not annoying, or a serious issue for you guys.  I
'grew up musically' using pretty much only grooveboxes for making my
music.  Mc303, Mc505, rm1x, 2 command stations, sp808, mpc2000, and
varioous electribes.  I can fully understand the whole flamming thing
when syncing up multiple external gear via midi, I've experienced it
just like you guys have.

I'm just not sure that even IF Elektron can address this on their end,
it will neccesarily solve the problem taking into account all the midi
gear at the receiving end of the clock chain.  Of course if Elektron
can do something to tighten up things on their end they should, but
let's be realistic about how much this may or may not improve things,
no?

Again, I'm not trying to piss people off or get in the way, just
trying to have a calm discussion on the issue with you guys.  We
obviously have different viewpoints on the issue, but I don't either
of us needs to be forbidden from speaking our mind on the issue.
Provided we do it in a non-flaming way of course :)

So, back on track, do people really think it's feasible to get super
tight sync of multiple pieces of gear from different manufacturers via
midi clock?  I've personally never experienced the kinda of accuracy I
get while working in software, but then again I never expected to
either with so many variables in play?  should I have set my
expectations higher?
