Hi Eric,

The reason I run it with no audio signal is coz I don't always sync to
external audio, and it's not really practical to change the settings on my
other kit in the middle of a gig to sync to another clock source, so I just
use the MS without an audio signal...

Anyway, you obviously don't have the same fluctuations I have, or you're not
using your MS in a way that they're noticeable...

Out of interest, what firmware do you have in your MS? Mine is 2.04.

Thanks for replying anyway,

Stu

  Well, it needs an audio signal to work, so if you're not feeding it any
  audio, then what's the point?  You can manaully enter the tempo via the
  incremetn buttons and then press start.  Maybe I'm not understanding your
  question?  If you don't want it changing the tempo once you have it
  locked, just put it in freewheeling mode.  I do this most of the time for
  best results.  I'll use it to get the tempo of the record, then freewheel
  it the rest of the track.  It's pretty rare to get tempo fluctuations on
  the record itself, so once it has it, the tempo should change until you
  change records.  Then I take it out of FW mode until it sync again, then
  FW, etc....

  How do you find your MS's timing when you don't have any audio signal
  being
  fed to it? Mine is flakey... I use it to drive an E6400 Ultra, and I can
  constantly hear small tempo changes going on when I've got bpm synced
  effects running (it's especially noticeable with delays, coz the delay
  signal gets detuned slightly if the sync changes, causing a flanging
  effect)... If I use my rm1x to generate midi clock, the timing is solid.
  So
  it's definitely an issue with the MS...
