Time Shift not in sync with external hardware
« on: July 05, 2022, 09:24:11 pm »
Hi everyone,

may be someone might help me out here:

So, I had a timing issue when working with the KSP and a DrumBrute.
Former topic (yep, wrong category):
https://forum.arturia.com/index.php?topic=109179.0

TL;DR:
  • So the sequencer should actually start from time shift "-49", not "0".
    No, it probably does. But it does not play notes lower than "0", in the beginning.


Now I'm experiencing the same when working together with another drum machine (DM).
  • The KSP is clock master, btw

Description:
First notes on the KSP are initially being triggered at a time shift of "0". Or let's say: the sequencer starts at time shift "0".
But the DM is already starting it's beats at a time shift of "-49" (probably, since it doesn't know time shift). Even when using shuffle(/swing) on the DM, I'm not able to counterbalance it.

This is especially present/ noticable at the start of a sequence or when doing a kick-start of the DM and another synth.
I'm using the DM this way on purpose, so I have one more track for another synth.


What I tried:
  • Switching the roles (master/slave)
  • Testing different PPQ (same on both devices, then)
May be someone does have a work-around or I overlooked something.

I don't know, if Arturia would say "Works as designed/intended". But it would be great, since it's the very first note/step, if the KSP also was able to play notes with a time shift lower than "0".



My current setup - troubleshooting/ reproduction
KSP is master
KSP --MIDI (MIDI Out 1) -------------------> Audio Interface --> USB <----> Laptop (vst)
|                                                                          ^      |
|                                                                          |       |-----> Headphones
|                                                                          |
|-- MIDI Cable (MIDI Out 2) --> DM --> 1/4 inch Jack


Kind regards,

CBAN
