Help! My Force is doing crazy things? If I sync the Force from the DAW ( Midi Clock ) and the DAW as well as the Force runs in the loop, I hear from the Force the first kick very quickly in succession twice? The BPM are set the same on both devices. The problem is with the Force on audio loops as well as on drum patterns to hear? Has anyone had this problem and been able to solve it? Greetings Andreas

Turn the midi clock signal off on one of the devices its recursing.

Hi Andreas,

have you tried recording any audio into Force (while syncing your Force to DAW)? Do you also get the "Recording stopped due to tempo change" message?
I have a similar syncing problem with Force and Logic Pro. Still haven't found a solution for this.

I am using the Force and the usb midi clock is horrible, but I solved sync issues by sending clock trough my sound device regular 5 pin cable midi out beiing Ableton the Master, it works just perfect now!
