Mike -

I'm not clocking from a SP1200. �Right now I'm just using the internal clock. �Are we on the same page, haha?

The way around the laggy start was to play it once, with the lag.. Stop the master clock and restart.. The second time it doesn't need to access the disk, and will start on the money.

the reason why it's unusable basically is because if you're clocking the sequencer say from an SP1200 or 12, and you use the clock out, the EII has that lag time to access the floppy disk to get it's next set of instructions. That lag time destroys everything.� Every time it makes a move you know it has to access the disk.� One thing I tried and I posted it on the other forum (weak) was to get the EII to read midi files.� I would load up a midi file in Ableton and pump it through the EII's input and it would actually record it.� So I would then hit play and the midi file was there.� That was fun.�� I think the sequencer is good for scratch pad sequencer for melodies and pads, and that's about it.� And using the EII in Supermode blows too if you're trying to use a serious hardware or soft sequencer.� I think most people just use it for real time playing these days and that's it.�

I've used it's sequencer a bunch of times, and got it to quantize fine.
Not sure if it's an OS thing or something else.

I played with it's sequencer, but never really liked it that much.. I don't think your missing out on much.

Interesting...am I not supposed to use the sequencer haha?

Man, I just got this thing fixed and it froze on me after about 40 minutes of use. �Did that happen normally to you?

Sorry bro.� I had many questions in the forum for the EII and never got a response
because I don't think anyone used the sequencer. �

Weird, I was just thinking about you the other day too..
