Re: [elektron] Re: Timing Debate

I think your sarcasm is pathetic, I was making an
assumption from what several others have found to be a
 problem, I love the sound it makes and I personally
haven't noticed some of these isssues but  I have not
incorporated it with my other equipment or a DAW. At
least I would get a less negative answer from the
folks at the mpc forum. If someone wants an example of
good support and how o.s.'s should be handled take a
look at what JJ has done for the mpc 1000 and
continues to improve on a machine that was pretty
basic at one point for a mere $30.
