Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Hi,

I have a similiar question, which Midi Mege boxes haven´´t problems sending
Midi Clock sync??
The Phil Rees Box I used till now seems to make serious problems.
Thanx,
Christoph



thanks for the help. i think i'm narrowing in on the problem. i don't have 
another durm machine to test, but i am getting rock-solid sync with my other

synths for thier delays and LFO's, all hooked into the same MOTU interface.

so i think Digital Performer is not the problem. gotta be the cables,
interface, 
or XL-7 (which i highly doubt.)

realm, i took your suggestion and tried swapping MIDI cables. unfortunately,

it's the same brand of super cheapo cables, but a shorter length so i
thought: 
give it a try. the sync has actually improved a bit.  i'm not 100% about my 
judgement now, since i've been obsessed with this problem for a couple of 
weeks. so i went ahead and ordered a top of the line MIDI cable to see if
that 
helps. i once had a problem with cheap MIDI cables and my Nord modular a 
few years ago (which i had forgotten about until you reminded me.)

you asked if i was going by the front panel display to verify tempo sync -
yes 
and no.  when i hear a fluctuation in delays or LFO's during playback, i'll
look 
at the panel and see that it has jumped to a signifigantly different tempo 
(though briefly.) the typical fluctuations are small - 1or 2 BPM's, and i
don't 
hear anything wrong with those, so you're right that those must be normal.
it's 
the big stuff that screws everything up, but they don't last long.

if the new MIDI cable doesn't solve this, then i will probably try a new 
interface. did you mention you used a MIDISport, realm? anything else that 
anyone recommends? it's needs to be USB and Mac compatible.

thanks so much!
