Shift Start Times saves or not?

Shift Start Times saves or not?

2014-04-04 by <bonzai2050@...>

I'm using an XL-7 to sequence things externally and internally, and there is an ES-X sampler slaved to it as well. Seems like Electribes are a little "late" when it comes to MIDI sync and I made things sound much tighter by shifting everything on my XL-7 tracks +0.008 ticks. Sounds nice and tight.
But when I turned the XL-7 on and off again I noticed that my kicks were at 1.1.000 again. ?!
Actually everything was on whole numbers again.
Does anybody know whether the XL-7 saves the shifted timings perfectly without any problems?
Am I doing something wrong?

Unfortunately I don't have my XL-7 here with me to test. (on vacation).
I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with this.
I remember turning the XL-7 on again and it sounded OK but I didn't see my shifted notes at X.X.008.

Cheers. Love the XL-7 but can be a hairy SOB!

Did you save the pattern where you shifted the notes?

Yea I'm pedantic about saving.
I save a couple times during playback and a couple times stopped.
And I did this for about 8 different patterns.
