immediately play sync issue

Hello gents,

Nowadays, I use my MPC-2500 more and more, instead of Logic or Ableton, as the midi brain and main sequencer in my studio.

But I have a sync problem in « immediately play » mode. A TR-8 and an OB-6, both slave synced to the MPC, lose sync when I change sequence on the fly. Everything’s fine in « end of sequence mode ».

Looking at the midi real time messages in Max, I noticed that in « immediately play » mode, there is a stop and a continue message in the midi stream.

I guess the workaround will be to sequence everything in the MPC, but i’d rather continue programming the TR-8 an OB-6.

Any advice or comment would be highly appreciated.

Take care,
w8

I forgot to mention that I use an MPC-2500 with JJOS3 2.33. I also tried XL3.64 with the same results.

You need to sync the MPC with Midi Time Code (MTC) to do that. with Midiclock you'll get into trouble.
Cheers

Thx for your advice. But I thing the OB-6 and TR-8 doesn’t recognise MTC.
