The manual sync'ing still goes out of time after some beats, but atleast I know I can sync it properly with some decent sequencers. I also noticed Cubase has the most unstable midi clock and the yamaha Rm1x has an almost ok midi clock, but will still loose sync after some time.

My friend told me he couldnt use the arp of his Supernova2 either, when using Cubase. I guess Cubase or my soundcard midi timing sucks badly.

Anyways, thanks for all.

no worries. as for the manual sync, the drift is caused by the way the devices calculate the tempo. although computers (let's call them computer because that's what they are for: computing) are very precise, the crystals creating the clock are not that precise and therefore the timebases are slightly different. 120 bpm are not necessarily the same for 2 instruments.

best, marc
