Not exactly. What you describe is latency.


What I meant by 'two clock sources don't line up' is the same thing you said with 'the variable delay between the transmission of a sample from the sending system, and the expected receipt of the sample by the receiving system'.

I didn't actually throw out the term 'variable', but you're right, it's the important factor.

thanks yall.

Hello,

It's a very interesting thread with a lot of information.

Physical MIDI has jitter too. I think that jitter is the cause for the existence of this thread. It's exactly why the phasing or comb filtering we notice when layering in the MPC keeps comming and going, alternating, being unpredictable.


Any insight on this?

Besides, the other day I was reading that tutorial :
http://www.midi.org/aboutmidi/tut_midimusicsynth.php

Check "Timing Accuracy and Running Status (revised 2001) " paragraph for other details.
