Hi, So now I have another problem. I'm sending a master sync signal from FLStudio but the tempo on my MP7 keeps jumping between 161 and 165. FL is set to 162. the tempo changes at every beat. i'm using a 4/4 time signature and it's going crazy. has anyone ever seen anything like this?

Right, that's what I meant when I said jitter so I was thrown by your use of jitter :)
The xl7 bpm number jumps around a little when slaved to a daw. And ableton bpm number jumps around when slaved to emu. IMHO works good for live use with emu as master if I record main mix, I do vs sets with ableton users a lot. I don't have FL though so ymmv.

I'm not familiar with FL Studio, but see if there's a setting where you can adjust how many MIDI 'ticks per beat' it operates on. Check the XL7 manual, but I'm pretty sure it runs on 96 TPB, so setting your DAW to 96, (or an exact multiple thereof) might eliminate the jitter issue. I use SONAR and have it set to (I think) 960 and I very rarely experience timing issues that can't be fixed by playing with MIDI delay.

Thanks guys, I'll check it now. For anyone with FL, you can change PPQ in Options>Project General Settings. Changing FL's PPQ doesn't stop the jitter. changing the sync method to MTC instead of MIDI Clock leaves the CS unresponsive. One thing i did notice is that, at least the beats are in sync. I mean, i'm not getting on the 3rd beat while FL is on the 1st. so that's good :) --- In xl7@yahoogroups.com, Adsr Multimedia <adsr.multimedia@...> wrote:
