midi timing instability

since a few months I have a terrible midi timing instability. It sounds as if my tracks aren't quantized! My system is Pentium 3, 384 MB Ram, 600 Mhz. Pulsar 1 software 3.01, windows 98 and cubase VST 5.1.

Does someone know what to do????? I can't mix any tracks like this!!

Rarely that happens here too, and I have no idea how comes. I use mostly AMT8 for midi, gonna check if it's anything to do with Pulsar's drivers/devices. If you have other midi ports, try routing those to your Pulsar Hardware.

Try the Audio as the Master-timing instead of of MIDI-Timing, even there is no audio in the MIDI-Audio-Sequencer yet. This would improves the timing linearity problems during the sequencer processes.

Thanx, but it didn't help much. Any other ideas??

Is the instability always the same no matter the project configuration? Does Pulsar MIDI run true by itself ? And VST by itself ?

I'll check that when I'm home tonight....

a long time ago i had this problem it turned out to be caused by a midi port program "midi yoke", "hubis loop back" did it as well but not as much.

WinME has the best midi timing. I do not know about XP but win2k midi timing was very poor.

(that is just about the only good thing about ME by the way)
