RE: [elektron] SidStation timing

2001-08-13 by Shawn Mativetsky

Yeah, this is a well-known issue with the SID chip... I can't remember the
exact reason.. maybe something to do with the envelope.

My solution: I use Cakewalk (a very OLD version), and for each track, you
can specify a time shift.  So, on the sidstation track, I do a shift of -2
to -5 and it then triggers the Sidstation slightly early, and so all the
notes end up on time! :)

Hello!

Can anyone tell me, what\ufffds the reason for the random timing of the
Sidstation when a midi-note is triggered?

e.g. you can almost forget to make fast sequences,
because every note is a bit behind.
But not all later the same amount of time.
Hmmm, is this a characteristic of the Sid-Chip?
