small synth with arp?

MS2000B does, the original one doesn't.

Are you still talking about midi clock sync? My original ms-2000 syncs perfectly to midi clock from my MPC1000. maybe it can't sync to the sh1tty clock from a DAW or something but I use the arp synced all the time and it is spot on every time.

I am under the impression that the MS-2000 and MS-2000B are exactly the same except 1 has an XLR input & is more badass looking.

My MS2000R (original one) syncs fine with Midi clock.

h**l despite owning two I had no idea. Thanks for the info though, because I've always toyed with the idea of picking another.

not sure this is truth. I've owned a few original MS-2000s and never had an issue with midi sync. never owned an MS-2000B though.

I was actually talking about the microkorg.

It's been my experience that the mKorg and MS2000 (notB) sync fine, but their internal arp clocks tend to drift after about a 45-50 seconds.

I was talking about the arpeggiator drifting out of sync with midi clock.

I haven't had that happen on my original MS-2000. I clock it from the MPC. I don't think I've tried it with a DAW-based midi clock, but I know for example my 909 will sync fine to my MPC but doesn't like the DAW-based midi clock.

Well let's just say it's picky about what it syncs to then. It's still too big to fit in the neck of a violin case as the OP wanted, let's get back to the topic at hand.

Xiosynth/X-station 25 - best fit IMO

Here are some good sound demos of it:

X-station sounds very similar, maybe even same engine

blofeld? If they fixed the midi timing in later rev's, im not sure.
