THe sound of your timing could be dependent on your patch. If something has a longer attack, it might sound off...
Just throwing that out there. Mine has never sounded "sloppy".

Doesn't work well for me at all.. Whether triggering via a drum machine and V to S trig converter, or via the midi synced kiwi board the timing is just sloppy.Hi Chromatest J.
Yes, using a drum machine with trigger out is definitely sweet. For anyone who isn't familiar, I've got a video demonstrating this process, too:The only downside with the trigger out of drum machines is that the polarity of the pulse is often wrong. My 707, for example, uses a V-trig (ie, an upward going pulse) whereas my arpeggiator trigger on my Polysix and Mono/Poly expect an S-trig (ie, a downward going pulse).At best, this makes the synths trigger a little behind the beat. At worst, the synth won't Arp at all.If you hack a V-trig to S-trig adapter (which is just one transistor), ! you fix this problem and the drum machine trigger rules!
