sync or swim ?

hi david,

I have been following this topic with a great deal of interest.

you are correct in your assertions -  I have to agree completely with  
what you are saying.

i appreciate the time you have taken to analyze and record the timing  
anomalies of the MD.

I think there is a degree of 'the ' emperors new clothes ' about this  
insofar as there seem

to be some that will deliberately cast aside the notion that there  
are timing drifts in the machine

and consider it to be ' pedantic ' to say otherwise. I think you  
should be congratulated for raising

this point because it is important and without the feedback of its  
users , products cannot evolve

and develop to their full potential.

elekron users  are engaging in  an open and intelligent debate about  
these issues and i

think it can  only be a good thing for elektron also to consider the  
feedback and rise to the

challenges that are presented to them.  the best drum machines   
should surely have the most

accuracy in their timing as well as the best interface, best  
operating system , best sound etc.
