Thanks alot for answering me rEalm ! I'm always happy to learn that 
kind of details.....Unfortunately I don't think it has anything to do 
with pattern complexity (only 8 tracks in my patterns and almost no 
cc)....In fact , the longer you let an arp running and more chances 
you will have to see it going out of sync.....I suspect it's also due 
to numerous sequencer pattern changes while the same arp is running : 
when I do this i'm sure to run out of sync !!

I think it's because you mostly use em as transition lines between 
pattern changes that's why you have no problems . Maybe this is the 
only valid workaround ? anyway thanks again for your help ...
