Hello, I have Bitwig Tempo set at (for instance) 120 BPM then I create a sequence in Launchpad Pro Mk3 at 120 BPM, I record that sequence into a Bitwig Clip, not synced. When I play that recorded clip it happens that it runs slower than 120 BPM...
Note: When I perform Transport Sync from the Launchpad Pro Mk3 to Bitwig everything works just fine. The difference appears when I generate the sequence inside the Launchpad Pro Mk3 and I record it into a Bitwig's clip. It is audible, apparent, I am not measuring it with any device.
What could I be doing wrong?

2 devices/softwares with their own clock, each saying they are running 120 BPM, doesn't ensure they are close enough not to notice some difference. To make sure they line up over time, they have to be sync'ed.

Depending on the material (f.e. soft pads) and the time length, in some cases you can get away with not syncing. Plus you can stretch stuff to fit.

many thanks for the explanation! I thought it should work perfect anyway.
