I love it when people are so self important they have to demonstrate
how offended they are by some mild sarcasm on the internet...

I am quite happy to accept there are timing 'problems' with the MD, my
point is, do they matter that much? How many artists are using the MD
and making great music without running into this problem? Is it really
a deal breaker and a trigger to sell the machine? (or launch a class
action suit against Elektron as some guys here seem to want!)

My problem with the MD is that I can't get the damn thing to even sync
its midi clock consitently with Ableton Live (and we aren't talking
miliseconds here). But, I get the distinct impression it might be the
software (or my ineptitude) that's at fault.

Anyway, if you want to get rabid about timing problems, compare the
Virus Ti to the MD and then tell me which destroys workflow (and
sanity) more effectively!
