Hello to all you planet Z people,
Thanks for all the problems that you have already fixed for me just by me reading everbody elses posts Its a great resource
you have here. But Here,s one I cant fix yet

I am having a problem getting good Midi clock synch between VST5 r6 & Pulsar II .
I have set VST to send Midi clock to pulsar
and then set Pulsar synth (ie Prisma)to external clock and pressed play in VST, The
BPM display in prisma then starts to register the BPM of VST but It varys by up to 4-5 BPM from that set in VST.Is this normal ? Or am I
setting something up wrong again as I often do.
Many thanks
Dixster

I have a similar problem on Mac running VST/32 v5.1r1 with Pulsar v3.01, the BPM varies about 2 BPM either way and never locks. Also you may notice that when using a delay sound on say Prisma and you try to sync it to Cubase you get a lovely clicking sound. I end up just entering the BPM manually into Prisma and leaving it on internal. Not the solution we're looking for I feel.

A false MIDI Clock output is a known issue at Steinberg and they are "working hard on it".

I also have problems with Cubase SX 1.01/1.02 and syncronizing external MIDI devices.
