Elektron Musical Instruments

Ah well , this offers a glimmer of hope Toni.  At least I know that 
others are having no problems.

I like the second option.  Swing is not an issue as I don't use it on 
the beats I am producing.

Looks like I might owe Elektron an apology as it sounds like it could 
well be my setup.

I'd be gutted if I have to rebuild as I did that about 2 weeks ago!

Toni - could you tell me your sync set-up, both on Cubase and the 
MD?  Sorry I know it takes a bit of time but it would be really 
appreciated as it sounds like you have got working exactly what I 
wanna do.

Cheers,

Drammy
