Elektron Musical Instruments

I noticed the timing difference with my MPC.  It seems like you want
either the MD be the master clock or the Cubase.  It seems like both
are the master clock and there is some confusion.  Maybe you have to
put Cubase in a slave mode.  I don't know much about Cubase and the
menus.  Maybe turn that Sync CTRL In : ON to OFF.
