I could not get this to work. And I tried, believe me.

What does work is slaving SX to the MD Midi Clk [sync settings],
then triggering patterns on the MD *from* SX [e.g. SX plays C2
via ch.1 to the MD, and MD plays pattern H7 --see Global Settings
in the MD]. This works _very_ well. The timing in SX is much
improved, and the patterns play tightly.

The MD sends out clock all the time, so slaving SX to it is
transparent, as long as you have the physical connection. You
still control transport from SX.

It seems unintuitive, but it works like a charm. Try it. Trust
me.

Good luck! -E.

: I'm attempting to sync Cubase SX with the MD with SX

: slave.  However, when playing back a sequence from SX,
: the tempo on the MD
: is all over the place and not stable.  I know people

: to be in control of things.  Basically I'm sending
: program change messages
: to the MD to trigger patterns but still be in sync

: within SX.  I've successfully done this with the MPC
: and MD in the past with
: no issues.

: I looked in the Elektron-users archives and there were
: a couple of threads
: about this early on but there seemed to have been no
: definitive solution
: mentioned that was clear to me.

: So, can anyone out there that have successfully used

: me in on what SX (and MD) settings you used to get a
