Elektron Musical Instruments

Hi Pandersuperstar,

I have got the same problem with my MD syncing to Cubase.  In the 
manual it states that the MD should be set as the master for MIDI 
clock.  However Elektron have said the opposite to me in one of many 
emails I have received from them in an effort to resolve the shocking 
MIDI timing of the MD.

They say that when syncing with a software sequencer that the master 
should be Cubase (in my example).  Thing is I find that the tempo is 
out and that when recording the audio into Cubase that the Kicks (for 
example) fall up to 600 samples before or after the beat - totally 
unworkable!

Elektron are, I think, looking into what can be done to resolve this -
 problem is it looks as if they do not Cubase SX2.0 to test against 
back in their office.

I am absolutely gutted as this is a serious piece of kit, at a 
serious price and currently I cannot use it for the purpose it was 
bought for - so I can be away from home and develop my beats and then 
sequence them into my tracks when I get home.  The timing is so bad!

This is probably not the news you were hoping for.  If you manage to 
make any discoveries regarding this timing issue then please keep me 
informed and I will keep you up to date with how my support call is 
going with Elektron.

Although it has been 2 days and no further response from them so it 
could be a long slog!

Cheers,

Martyn
