My problem, Kick related

[jayson27]

Hi,

On my virusC I've made a bunch of high-power kicks over the months. Heres my problem:

I sample the kick with my MPC and dump it into battery3. Then, I'll be playing an arpeggiated bassline from the virus like up-down 2 octaves note G as an example. I trigger my kick in battery(via ableton) and it's completely off! I've tried screwing with all the settings in battery and still no advancement. Last night I went to my producer-friends house and we decided to see if we could find a solution. We triggered his 808 to the bassline and it's on time. So as an experiment we recorded the kicks into protools and compared the 808 waveform and the virus's kicks(yes we did try preset kicks on the virusC which werent triggering on time either!). What we found was that there was a much wider gap in the waveform cycle. We just couldn't figure out how to get it to properly sync. There was a few more things I wanted to try but didn't get the chance.

I know there's a solution to this problem somewhere, as alot of ebm bands I listen to have their virus kicks triggering on time.

So my questions are, has:
A. Anyone had such a problem
B. How can I solve this dilema
C. Recommendations\suggestions

If anyone can provide any information I will be gratefull.

Regards,

Jayson
