Hey guys,
Just working with my new novation circuit, which is amazing at sequencing. I had hoped that I could record tracks and have them in synch with the tempo clock of tracktion. So it seems like there is drift going on here. I had wanted to be able to record different patterns of midi notes in line, but it seems to be drifting big time.
To test, I had a drum sequence playing, and it recorded to the tempo of tracktion so I know the unit has to be slaved to T7's clock. So I recorded it, and then pressed play with the identical pattern to see if the midi notes played together, and they don't. Is there something wrong with tracktions midi timeclock ?

Tracktion and midi timeclock - synch is off - Anyone know how to fix drift?

I tried to fix the issue by quantizing the midi input but it still is drifting incoming notes creating a mess.

Okay I'm bumping this because I just tried to record audio triggered from the novation circuit as well as midi and they aren't lined up. How can I reduce drift? Is the timeclock in tracktion solid? Looks like it is drifting about half a second. Anyone?
The reason why It's a big deal is because I want to buy a novation bass station 2 and wire it in being controlled by the circuit but there is so much drift in tracktion I don't think it would work...

What settings do you have in Tracktion for
- send MIDI timecode
- send MIDI clock
- Use MIDI driver for MIDI timing
- do you have any value in the MIDI "pre-delay"
On the slave unit (Novation), what are the corresponding settings?
Does it play with a fixed offset, or does it seem to drift (i.e. get progressively worse). If it's a fixed offset, then possibly the pre-delay value value can correct it.

Yes I've tried all of those settings. Sending the lock and time code. The novation is set to slave. It works but it's drifting.

Okay guys now I just got a novation bass station 2, which is synched to the novation circuit - which is slaved to T7. I was testing it out during a lunch break because I just received it, and it looks like the midi AND audio are both drifting at different levels. Is there a tutorial or instructions on how to fix all of this? I would really like to get my music back on track (literally) lol !

Midiclock works perfect as long you not using the same midi interface/output for any other midi parts. 
Then the midiclock is out of sync ....
Please fix this!
