All i can say is that my system do not match with all m other
instruments or my tunning equipment.
The Notes drift away. No chromatic scale.

Sorry but i have to disagree. Why you put in a quantizer in the 250 if
you do not want a chromatic scale? All my Modular system can do this
correctly.  The Old ones for the the 70s till the brand new stuff.
Please to not tell me that a 20000$ Buchla system cant play in
chromatic scale with the internal Sequencer by using the quantizer.

I am not talking about 100% Perfect like a digital Osc Synth. 100% in
tune over 8 Octaves. But I think there must be a way to play harmonic
music on it.
