Re: XL-7 delay problem , midi bump , tick error clock f@*% up?

2005-11-28 by zerolatencyproductions

Hello,

  I was thinking about a few things that might have something to do 
with the timming delays.  

You said;
> its easy to hear this while playing tight drum tracks or notes 
with a midi clocked echo or delay as they become sloppy / messy to 
the ear once a second track is unmuted or more

Are you running your midi through a sequencing program?

If so there are a few things that could be causing the delays.

Even if you aren't using a computer program but have the MIDI cables 
connected to something, you might have a small midi loop problem 
that only manifests itself as you add more and more midi out.

Other than that I can't think of anything if your diagnostics say 
the hardware is fine.

Peace,
Brandon
