Hi Robert - just to clarify - it is not a 'bug' certainly but by the
clearly random nature of the internal timing stability in the SPS-1 it
can never seriously be considered as a deliberate design concept and
presented as a 'feature' despite Daniel's claims. I refuse to accept
that random timing fluctuations in a rhythmic sequencer would ever be
a design 'feature'.  So, Bug - no. Design limitation - absolutely.
Probability of being rectified - zero. The SPS-1 timing is what it is.
We either love it or leave it and that's cool so long as we all know.
I think the discussions and various debates about timing can only be
of benefit if for no other reason than a company with serious design
skills like Elektron will obviously take timing stability into serious
consideration in future products. Regards - David.
