I use Logic with 2 Unitor 8's and timing is as tight as midi can get (which is not perfect, but fine). The MD's timing is really good. Both when triggering notes via midi, or when using its internal sequencer, timing is tight. I guess they use very fast processors, and their OS etc is well written. >I am well aware that >many products from big companies like Roland and Yamaha , including >hardware sequencers, come out of the box with such poor quality MIDI >timing as to make them unfit for making real music. > Yeah, i also got some synths that have lousy midi timing. Don't worry about the MD though. Elektron got it right! >And much more importantly, is it >a reliable master for me to slave my sampler and synth off of? > I'll leave this to someone else to answer. I don't use it this way. Bye, Joeri -- Joeri Vankeirsbilck joeri@... Belway Productions - http://www.belway.com List-admin Logic-users/SoundD*ver-users/Logic-TDM
