Anyone else still get MIDI timing issues without using USB ?

[ill]

hmmm, access are now trying my patience.

I installed 1.08 but was ona deadline for a demo for something and EVERYTHING went wrong,

including a massive time lag in SX3.1.1 even without using the TI Plug in.

when's 1.09 out?

You're not the only one having those problem, Access support are aware off all the remaining problems. They told me to wait for a couple of updates to get everything done...
For Three days, without any reasons, my TI has been working fine with Sonar 4 using Virus Control. I must hurry to do some tracks before the next full moon shows up or the wind changes :P

Yeah the timing, even in midi is below average. I have no problems with any of my other synths(jp8080, fr777, alpha juno2, novation ks4).

Might be related to my EMU1820m combo with the Virus...Seems like the Virus has a hard time with the EMU products(correct me if I'm wrong).

I'm using Cubase SX3.1.1

please explain. are you using USB MIDI or MIDI (with an MIDI interface)? how can i reproduce you "below average" timing? owning a JP8080 myself i couldn't say that i would prefer the timing of it against the TI at all.

... and - what does the 1820 has to do with the TI's MIDI timing? do you use the 1820's two MIDI out for the TI or do you use it for _all_ the synths at the same time?

best, marc

marc: I tried both using USB MIDI and midi cables with midi interfaces(with EMU1820M midi port and a MIDISPORT 4x4) and everytime I playback the midi sequence, the first few notes seem to have a problem staying in time. My fix for this is just to play a short sequence a few bars before the actual one when I'm at the recording stage.

an example using 1 ti channel without external fx, straight from the analog out: http://www.madstation.net/Melodie_trance(uneautre).mp3
It is subtle since I did my best to record this sequence(took me 4 times to get it right) but you can still hear the notes struggling a bit at the start.
When I layer the metronome over this it is even more obvious.

I don't mind notes running out of time once in a while when playing back, but when recording this is a pretty frustrating matter.

Thanks!

When I say everything, it caused a massive time lag even when I hit "enter" in SX3.1.1 to play audio tracks of beats (without the TI plug in being pulled up as a VSti)

1.07 initially worked great, then started getting clicks worse than on any "demo" versions that emit random noise.

I was just getting my head around it with MIDI and old skool, punching in all the presets -

And now the midi drops out of time if you mess about with stopping and starting your Sequencer.

For a 1500 GBP product it's not too hot. I am considering trading it in for Nord.

PS: to the guy above I am also using a EMU1820M

Best set aside another few hundred quid for a Lexicon or similar fx box to go with it then

Also keyboards on nords (apart from the G2X modular) are horrible as well.
