Re: [elektron] Re: Elektron's timing "signature"

2007-05-01 by Tony Scharf

I think this list should be renamed. "The rehashed, reworded, never
ending discussion of midi timing and arm-chair dsp coding" would be a
better title for it.

Please, everyone, could we move on?  I think now that we have heard
from daniel on this the last word has been given.  The timing issues
you have are by design.  If that makes the MD unusable by you, then
perhaps your resources and energy would be better focused elsewhere.

Right or wrong, elektron has made their choices and they stand by
them.  They have also made it clear this is an issue they are not
willing or unable to address to the satisfaction of all.

Thank you,
Tony
