There has be Consistent latency off beat clocking using MPC Ren and Korg M3 Keyboard,

with a simple 16 bar loop, i can maintain a good consistent rhythm with both machines for about 4 mins of the loop playing without noticing off beat midi.

It seems that the midi notes mapped on the MPC REN sequence is playing on beat and on bars with the sequence but the send to the external keyboard seems to be slow, making the Korg M3 receive MIDI OUT information late, Thus making the Keyboard sound off beat and off track with the Sequence on the Drum pattern coming the MPC.

It seems to drop Paste with the sequence and u can see the volume metering on the KORG keyboard that it is receiving midi codes after the process of the sequence mapped.

I have Confirm The Midi Clock On The Keyboard M3 Fron External USB(as i also have USB plugged for ) , Midi Clock Midi and also Auto

And On the MPC in Synch< Send Midi Clock To MPC Port 1 Which represent the connection of the Keyboard> and in Prefernces< Midi < i have mapped the Port 1 for Out A>

I have also tried to change the MTC Frame Rate and actovated Both MMC.

:hmmm: Why is midi going off beat, the sequence is proper and its receiver the note slightly later, the longer i let the loop play the more the keyboard goes off beat with the MPC.

why the latency for the MIDI coming OUT (MPC) and IN my (Keyboard)??

this sounds like midi jitter, inherent in any computer midi system (barring atari).

they claimed to have written a new 'low latency driver', and i've been waiting to see some tests to see if sync with the ren is any better than with any sound card.

if not, and this midi jitter issue still exists, there might not be much you can do except by using something like an innerclock systems sync gen.

ive never been able to get a computer to send a reliable midi clock.

that is the only thing i'm talking about.

re-reading your post i'm having a hard time following exactly what is going on, so forgive me if i led you the wrong way.

still curious about some legit midi clock tests from the ren.

should i clarify 'with my computer alone'? :mrgreen:
