out of my own experiance i can say that when i found
the iregularitys in the md\ufffds\ufffdtiming i was looking for
other sources of the problem than the md
itself..because it sounded ok for me..and i am a
person that is extremly sensetiv to bad timings..they
make me feel pain...

So..as said before..the timing derivations of the md
are not just random on a high rate..there is a
pattern..and a a random portion..
the result sound ok..the reality causes edit
problems..

My guess that we have indeed some design here..but
aswell a acting limitation...
 If there is a designed rythmic pattern in the md it
would in ideal dont alter the motiv lenght... so the
absolute lenght of a 2 bar loop stays the same even
when there is some micro timing going on..

That this is not realized might be no bad intention
but the limitations of the dsp inter communikation..

So i dont see a reason to dont belive Daniels
statement that we deal here with a design choice..

but even within this designchoice the random failiure
might be something that can be improoved... 
Its maybe too much talking about the item but in
general the discussion is good..

The MD is a interesting machine with a big sound
potential but in my eyes it still can be optimized...
if timing is a point for optimisation or not is indeed
something that can be discussed... 
I personally vote for the microtiming but would like
to see optimisations on the random factor and tactics
to be implemented to handle situations where higher
accuracy is required..

Avoiding of extra menues is no point here..the global
menu is still very easy to be overseen...much easier
than the soundengine,,,

there could be twice as much global menus to make this
too crowded and abstract... there is easily space for
2 or 5 functional  entrys more..
