Emax

I was wondering if this timing issue happens with external sequencing as well?  I rarely used the internal sequencer, but sequenced from MPC's I never noticed too much slop or anything.  If coming from a computer sequencer then the timing issues may originate from that end, I have seen a lot of computer midi interfaces screw up timing, which gets compoounded the more data the computer tries to push out.  But it is not unreasonable for the emax to have this flaw, I don't have it do too much drum wise.

 

This may explain why the SP-12 and 1200 are so tight but lack so many of the features of the EII and Emax.

Are you starting and stopping emax seq manually ?
You should set the emax Seq to start and stop from .. midi /external .. ?
Don't remember exactly.

But i had good experiences with it doing it

"
1) Copy SuperMode Map with proper track/preset assignments to another
sequence location (Manage 5)
2) Turn Auto Extend on (Setup 3)
3) Turn MIDI Start/Stop on for the current preset (Preset Def. 7)
4) Choose MIDI clock (Manage 2)
5) Hit �Play� on source sequencer
