Korg Electribe SX delays out of sync with Midi Clock?

Post by Damo303 » Thu Feb 19, 2009 3:26 pm

To the Korg Electribe SX users amongst us:

I run mine in Midi Clock using Cubase SX and it works fine except for one annoying problem.

I’ve noticed that when I use it in Midi Clock mode the delay FX can come out of sync with Cubase quite easily, especially if I chain patterns and use different delay times on different patterns.

It seems that by moving from one pattern to another its very easy for the delays to come out of sync when I playback chained patterns that have different delay settings. If I restart the Korg SX and Cubase it all works fine but its annoying when you are writing patterns because you have to keep restarting Cubase and the Korg SX to get it all back in sync.

Has anyone come across this?

It doesn’t happen with the Korg MX that I have.

I've had delay settings change when I change patterns, but they've still been in sync.. never synced to software before, but the delay works fine when the SX is slaved to my Monomachine (master clock)

i'd have the PC slave to the ESX if anything, never the other way around.
Cubase (and all the VSTs) runs on a non-real-time OS

yeah, i've slaved my ESX to tons of other hardware and it's always been rock-solid. must be the PC factor.
