Anyone have any problems with SYNC IN, using Midi clock+MMC and ABLETON LIVE?

Using SYNC IN so MPC is slave to LIVE 6.07.
Midi Clock+MMC.
I have a Midi Clock Sync delay of -60ms to MPC is locked perfectly with LIVE.

When the 4/4 kick drum pattern plays on the MPC, the first kick drum at 001.01.00 is always like 1/2 a beat out of sync wit Ableton Live.

The second kick drum at 002.01.00 and the rest of the pattern is locked perfectly to LIVE.

Anyone having this issue of the start of a pattern being out of sync?
Any work arounds?

thanks

I have made same experience....
not only when using Live, but when using midi clock. In my opinion it needs one bar for both (computer and MPC) to catch up with the timing. due to the fact, that I make pattern based music I dont care, because once started the both run for a long time. Maybe you should use MTC for non loop based syncing.

cheers

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having the same issue and start a bar early to give it time to sync would be ok but in my case. This happens if the kick for example comes back after a 4 bar break. And again, the first kick will be out until it syncs again.
