For those of you using an MD with logic, cubase or other sequencer 
what's the best way to use it?  I'm new to the MD world and I'm 
debating how to set it up.  I can't decide if I should use the MD 
step sequencer and then use logic for example to trigger patterns, or 
write patterns in logic (matrix editor) to trigger MD tracks and 
tweak the machines respectively.  Guess I'm looking for an update as 
to working styles/preferences here. TIA

The MD's sequencer is the reason I own mine... I use the internal 
sequencer, accent it with additional sequence data from my 
softsequencer.  Sometimes I trigger patterns from outside the MD, 
sometimes I build songs with the MD in tandem with the DAW...

perhaps this should not be a reply-to but I need some advice 
regarding the topic.

i use logic (5.5.1) with my MD but im having issues with sync.  i 
want to trigger patterns written in the MD and sync to logic.  ive 
slaved logic to the MD and slaved the MD to logic but am having 
unacceptable timing issues (i use the amt8 serially <very reliable>), 
preventing me from using the MD with my other gear (samplers and 
whatnot).

in short, the MD (inconsistently) is shifted slightly out of time 
with the sequence (whether master or slave).  the timing does lock 
with the timing of the sequencer (and vice-versa).

anyone with a similar setup found a workaround/solution?  my MD is v 
1.12 (not B).
