RE: [elektron] Problems with external sync

2008-03-19 by Tim Wellens

Is the midi-clock more accurate if used with an Elektron Turbo-midi?
Could anyone please'o'please test it for me? (Just push the turbo-button OFF and hear if the midi-clock is better or worse with turbo on or off)
 
Thanks alot!
